Cheap Thrill- The tiny garden is coming alive.

Asparagus!!!


One of the most frugal and fun things I do for our house hold is keep a  garden. We live in a suburban house, so space is at a premium. I have always been amazed at how much you can grow in  a few patio containers and a few raised beds. Yesterday, we were greeted by our first asparagus- yummy! They have been in the ground for 3 years and despite being slightly neglected last year when I was recovering from cancer, we still should have a nice yield this year. I paid $7.99  3 years ago for 6 Asparagus crowns and we have been eating fresh Asparagus from our garden ever since. Talk about a cheap thrill, it beats the heck out of the stuff from the store.
