The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

My family loves watching movies and tv series together, and having regular game nights. Over the years, I’ve invested small amounts at a time, extending my growing space, adding several types of berries, planting cherry trees, and growing an asparagus patch from seed. A freebie cabinet. My girl with homegrown okra.

My spouse and I have gained quite a bit of experience planting bushes, trees and flowers over the years.

So do finances.

Hang onto plants for winter greenery. Save your plants over the winter and avoid spending more money in spring. Plants in the house not only provide decoration but are also healthy. Use free plants to landscape. After the leaves dye down, dig up the bulbs and re-plant in the fall. Check the time.
