Fresh Herbs and Veggies

I love healthy foods like fresh veggies, especially when they are in a salad.  However, a lot of the 'fresh' produce can be taxing on the ol' wallet.   

So for a cheaper option, (an the satisfaction of knowing I can feed my family something I grew and didn't bomb with pesticides) I have started gardening. Nothing big and fancy. I have a raised garden (6 x 4) and a few containers.  

Today I picked some fresh dill, parsley, green onions, an celery for a salad.  

I also have tomatoes, peppers, chives, carrots, and mint growing.  As a bonus this year I found a wild blackberry bush in the yard that I plan to care for for a touch of sweet. 

Happy savings!
