I cook a lot of vegetables, so this is frugal for us.
Pete did start some herbs for me, and we will plant more, but I can't grow vegetables this year because of school and an ouch-y back.
We will also can some of what we get at the farm though so far Pete is mostly interested in recipes like Dilly Beans and Sweet Zucchini Pickles.

This is awesome!
I've found that going to the public market (May-Oct) has saved a lot, and yes lots more veggies and cooking from scratch. It feels better all the way around.
Also started a garden for the first time. Crossing my fingers that my thumb is more green than black.
Ursy - I'll be back in later to post a wonderful garden salsa recipe that my daughter and I started last year. Now, we crave it and can't wait for the local veggies to be ready so we can make it again.
