[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plant a garden! Yummiest fresh produce and virtually free. [/quote] “Practically free?” That has not been my experience. Unless you grow from seed, which, in the DC area, requires enough room and a proper set up to do, the amount of produce you get from a garden rarely offsets the cost of buying plants, etc. If you didn’t start a compost pile years before you need to buy hummus and fertilizer. That assumes you have a garden with sufficient space and enough sunlight, which I currently do not. [/quote] +1, we had a crappy year with our garden. Eggplants never took off, Bell Peppers were small and crappy. Did ok with the tomatoes so there are several batches of roasted tomatoes in my freezer waiting to be pureed into sauce. It varies so widely year to year. Last year we had sooooo many bell peppers and two years ago I was handing out cucumbers left and right. [/quote]
