After a little bit of searching on Facebook. I found one.  I head out early Saturday because I heard they have sold out of plants very quickly. Let me tell you this was by far the best decision I have made. Plants were 3 for $1. I purchased 33 plants for $11 or the cost of one mosquito plant at Lowes. <\/li><li>Over the past year, I have been collecting different seeds. The reason, I just could not pass up a good deal. I paid as much as twenty-five cent for all the packets. Since we have some extra time with no extra activities, I  decided to go ahead and see what I could start from seed. I have been able to successfully start, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, cantaloupe, snap peas, peas  and watermelon. I have also planted some green beans, dill and basil from seed as well.  The only expenses so far has been dirt which I buy anyway.<\/li><li>Matt saw on-line that you could start tomato plants from slices of tomato. I was very skeptical because of the way I hear most vegetables are treated. However, we tried it with two slices of tomato and we have tiny tomato plants growing from them! <\/li><li>I have been listing items on Ebay for the past month. Originally, you could list up to 50 items a month without a listing fee. Now they have actually changed that to 200 items a month. This past week, I sold 7 out of 10 items!  I also received the highest bid for one item. We are still responsible for a fee at the end but for March it was $12.45 so I am still making a small profit on most items and we are cleaning things out as they go. <\/li><li>I talk a lot about food and food waste. We have spent a total of $212 so far from our grocery budget. I expect to keep this number under $250 for the month!  We are definitely trying to use what we have an still do some adventures eating and cooking this month! <\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instead of buying plants from the big store&lt; Lowes, I decided to venture out and try and find a local greenhouse.
