Listen to Saving Money: Garden Edition. Part 2 HERE
Today we continued our garden editions of our saving money series. Saving money in the vegetable garden is so important to make the garden a sustainable enterprise for your family.

The work is good for me and makes my vegetable garden all the more rewarding.
