Our two goats I’m planning to milk next year We also have a big garden, fruit trees, a medicinal herb garden and grow some cut flowers. Part of my flower garden this year I hate the idea of being haunted by money-woes when my husband and I are retired. We also have three cats! Gretchen, thanks so much for participating!

I’m not close to considering myself a gardener, but this is easy and reliable enough for even me! I stuck some wilty kale in a mug of water I used part of my poor neglected kale in a pot of soup. but I stuck the rest of it in a cup of water, where I have faith that it will perk up.

My garden. Purple raspberries from my garden. At the time, I thought my income would quickly increase and everything would be easy to pay off, but I spent the second half of my twenties paying off that debt. I did drive that vehicle for 14 years, so it wasn’t a total loss. helping out 7. What’s one thing you splurge on?

Here’s a short post about a Swedish allotment garden. Gardening and nature became much more important (though gardening can also lead to surprisingly high expenses ? ). I like to take a little walk during my lunch breaks whenever possible. Note from Kristen: I wasn’t sure what an allotment was, so I googled.

We also grow a large garden & lots of flowers, fruit trees & a 100-year-old grapevine. I seriously overextended on planting and underestimated how much work my dad used to do so hopefully I’ve learned from my mistakes & will not kill myself in the garden this year!

Luckily, my little is starting to enjoy some of these activities – like picking the peaches from our tree, grocery shopping, baking/cooking, and gardening and I love spending time with her doing these activities too! What’s one thing you aren’t remotely tempted to splurge on?

That’s when I was blogging at Smart Green Tips ( here’s a link to a cached page with a post about my organic garden — I sold the domain years ago). The focus was on saving money and resources and living in an eco-conscious way. Fun fact: J.D. let me guest post on Get Rich Slowly once.
