In light of rising gas and food prices, would you consider raising a garden?

I think that if you have a little plot of land, you should plant some vegies to save money and leave more produce for others who cant grow things.

I'm in the process of doing so right now. I've started with peppers and potatoes, and hope to plant a few more things soon. Perhaps tomatoes and beans.
Reply:well I try to do my bit for the environment, I already have a compost bin which has reduced my weekly rubbish by half! I am also ready to do some planting outside in a little part of the my garden, my dad already grows veg in his allotment for me so I get organic herbs and veg all year round. I do save loads of money when I shop. My gas usage is minimum because I cook a large pot of food and freeze it, saving time and effort when I am at uni.
Reply:Excellent idea. I have considered putting a small garden of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions,jalapenos, habaneros out this year. Last year my sister and her husband planted a huge

garden in their backyard of the same things I hope I can do it on a smaller scale
Reply:Absolutely. Though I wonder how long it would take.



and I could peddle off fresh vegtables to those who can't grow them for cheaper.
