I made a library run today and stumbled upon all kinds of composting and gardening books. I checked out seeds at the store too and that's when I caught it...garden fever. I can't wait to get my hands in the dirt and get the beds ready to plant. I've got a good pile of compost that is ready to spread out and a few weeds to pull. I'm getting my sunny window seat ready for some seedlings and in the next few weeks the kids and I will get the garden started inside. My intention is to plant only three crops but lots of them so I can get some canning done. But the siren song of a variety of veggies has got me thinking I might start a small salad garden outside my back door. I'm trying to control myself but in my head my garden keeps getting bigger and bigger. sigh.
In between a head spinning number of activities today (curses on baseball season) I made a quick dash to the grocery store stock up for the week.

Thanks for the link up. I've attached your link to my site too. I also feed a family of 6 on a small budget. I think your meals are much healthier than mine however!! THANKS!
I'm newer here, so don't know if this is repetitive. I just read that when you buy bulk bags of vegies or fruit (potatoes, apples, carrots, etc.) to weigh them. They are required to have a minimum weight but you can easily find heavier weights and get more for your money!
