Time to Plant the Garden

Ben's Watermelon!

Our first season, laying out the boxes.

The time is coming for everyone to start planting their garden.... Today we tackled the task and in several hours we have everything in the ground.  I can't wait for things to start growing.... it's so exciting. 

I imagine you can save quite a bit of money having a garden.  We went up to our Amish hookup and spent $37.00 on all of our seeds and plants that we needed.  The only thing we weren't able to find was sweet potatoes.  That was going to be our new plant this year.  I think that we will get our $37.00 worth and then some from our wonderful garden. 

Here are some pictures from years past of the garden...

My Latest Shopping Trip - with Update!!!

I took a few hours on Sunday and did a little shopping at ACME, CVS and Martins and here is what I came up with:

I'm not sure the total yet, but I'll add it all up real soon and repost it.  I'm thinking at the most I spent $30.00.  I felt good about it.  More details to come.

UPDATE:  Totaled it all up and I spent $32.12 AND I have $21.79 to use at CVS for next week.  I'd say that's pretty good!
