I usually do it, I guess it saves a bit of money. Doesn't cost me anything because I get the plants at Mitre 10 with vouchers from here or other survey sites

If I have garden in my backyard then I will start to plant different kinds of vegetables and it helps my expenses and very important for me for a living.

I discovered a self-sown cherry tomato seedling growing in my garden when I returned home after the Xmas holidays. It started to fruit just when prices started getting crazy, and has inspired me to try growing more of my own food.

I started my own veggie supply 17years ago, it's great to go out and pick what I need and not be forced to buy what the shops have packed, but during summer the water bill gets a little high, but all worth it, at least nothing goes of in my fridge 2days after I bought it

I used to grow a lot of vegies and you are correct it does save money but more importantly the taste of home vegies cannot be beaten. I am going to restart my vegie patches when the whether decides to cooperate and if you can attract bees to you garden the better

why not try a local boycott at the local supermarket. if all the locals stopped buying at 1 supermarket they would soon drop their inflated prices

Something a lot of people forget with regards to saving money gardening is that unless you harvest your own water then it is not free…

Having had a veggie garden I disagree. Too much rain and the lettuce turns to seed, the tomatoes all ripen at the same time just when tomatoes are at their cheapest and if the snails don't get them the birds do. I have a lemon tree, grapefruit, plum, macadamia, persimmon as well rhubarb, mint, figs, parsley, a lime tree and cape gooseberries that pop up everywhere. We have to have our fruit trees pruned each year then try to keep the bats, birds and fruit flies away and keep the cockies off the macadamias. I would hate to be a farmer because it is soul destroying when you put time and effort in but get nothing. In short, it's the supermarket for us.

Hi Margaret. Do you use any special type of fertilizers for your tomatoes. I have only tried to grow them outside and had no luck in growing them Not sure what I am doing wrong so thought I would try the greenhouse this year. At least your rabbits are eating well.

We grow what we can ourselves and often grows lettuces in pot's where you just pick the leafs and they just grow more. We also grow potatoes and carrots yams tomatoes in pot's and sometimes grow vegetables in among the flower garden too. We have rhubarb blueberries red and black currants growing too as well as 2 plum trees. I make my own jam and try not to waste anything we also have quite a few herbs growing in the flower garden too. You don't need to have a large area to grow a few bits and pieces and nothing tastes better than eating your own produce. We also make our own natural seaweed plant food, it may be a bit smelly but at least we know what's in it and the plants love it.

  We battle bats, birds, snails and fruit fly. However, we did get a good crop of persimmons this year, otherwise the "natives" eat well.

  Yes they're very good at swiping the blueberries too but I guess that they have to eat just like us.

Have always grown veges - at the moment have peas, spring onions, red onions, leeks, baby cauliflowers, purple garlic, carrots (diff colours), capsicums, tomatoes (diff ones) and lots herbs. Love gowing veges - but different bugs and rats are a problem. Also have apple tree, mulberry tree, lime and lemon and orange trees, and fig tree.

I agree, but I think people also need to learn to shop locally and seasonally to save money. I haven't noticed a huge increase in the supplemental fruit and veggies we have to buy but we don't expect to be buying summer fruits in winter.

Gardening is very healthy for everyone, spirit, soul, emotiions and body. But not everyone is born with a gardening/farming gene.. If you are not get together with some neighbours and have a community garden you dont need a lot and there are plenty of vids on utube from every country to give you some great ideas if you only have a patio or very small yard.... And if you do shared, you also have the health benefit of socialising and learning something new, it may not be actual gardening itself but it will be associated and its amazing what people find out about themselves, with gardening, knitting etc. Blessings and if new have before start small.

Fantastic strategy! Growing up with a single mum, we didn't have much money. With my mum, we planted mandarin, peach, plum and apple trees. We had a garden we redug up and replanted every summer so that in the winter time, we had plenty of corn, silver beet, carrots, tomatoes and cabbages. It is a fantastic way to keep fit and to exercise. A garden is a MUST. Edited 06-Jul-22 14:08pm

Love my home grown veges. Taste so much better. Currently have pumpkins, potatoes, kumera, tomatoes, rhubarb, blueberries, avocado, grapes, blackberries, pineapples, and herbs. Usually have enough to share with family and friends. Make a delicious tomato chutney which everyone adores especially my son in law! Had an abundance of cherry tomatoes one year so my sister took a big bowl to a mediaeval feast she was catering and people were asking where she got the ‘real’ tomatoes!Edited 06-Jul-22 11:58am

Home grown tomatoes are pretty easy. After winter is done I'd like to get some. You know they charge like $8 for a kilo of them. Growing up tomatoes are a thing we rarely bought because being Italian, we had so many plants HAHA.

Well with the price of a lettuce getting to $12 and I brought a cauliflower the other day for $8. Got lots of tomatoes and a lot of pumpkins, soup soup and even more soup. Glad it's winter. Also liked the idea of using coleslaw on a burger instead of lettuce, which we have done and it was a nice change too. Coleslaw was home made of course.

  grow stringless scarlet runner beans, and pick them when they are only 8 inches or 20cm long. And remember you don't pull them out at the end of the season, let them die back and they'll grow again even better next season. an upside down U shaped frame with strings hanging down is best. you can pick beans from either side of the frame, and it's easy to cut the strings off at the end of the season, you're not fighting with a mesh.. it helps if you have the strings tied down at ground level...run a wire across. Well rotted cow manure or sheep pellets, and you're set to go. keep the slugs and snails away when the beens initially sprout. beer traps or slug pelletsEdited 06-Jul-22 13:52pm

Potatoes are easy to grow and keep down the weeds as well ... plant some a few weeks apart as to have new ones constantly coming up and just dig up what you immediately need ... treat the ground as your cellar ... can do the same with lettuce as well, just peel off as in break off what you need, try not to cut it with a knife so it doesn't start going brown ... I do the same with the ones in the fridge, they last fresh longer.

  Well done Grommie. Once this rain stops I need to get outside and weed my garden. I don't have as much as you but I grow as much as I can and preserve whatever is available to do so. When rationing starts and people realise that there's not going to be enough food for everyone there'll be food riots, which are already happening around the Middle East and Asia and Africa. It will be us next. I predict September will be a HUGE wake up call for American's and by December TPTB won't be even trying to hide what they've done. There WILL be rioting and stealing of whatever food can be found so make sure yours is safely cached somewhere in different areas. I'm VERY serious about that! I would suggest you go to "Adapt 2030" on YouTube or "Ice Age Farmer" over on Bitchute. Both these channels woke me up to what was actually happening around the world to CREATE a global famine. It's absolutely heartbreaking what is just over the horizon and truly evil! Take care now and please get your supplies somewhere safe!

I’ve a big backyard, but very hilly and the soil is not good. My son made a gardenbed for me, I had lots of parsley, tomatoes, basil, till I planted eggplant...it took over the whole space, killed everything, no fruit on it. Now I got rid of it, plan to plant parsley, tomatoes, garlic, etc. I gave parsley to all of my neighbors, not everybody likes parsley so I will plant less. It’s a learning process for me. Yes, saving money and much healthier!

  Katalin don't plant less parsley plant more if you have space! It's very nutritious, great blended into a green juice and a wonderful seasoning for a lot of different meals and it's good for you. It's anti inflammatory and you can always dry what you don't need and vacuum seal it into 20gm lots or larger and it will last years. Keep going with your garden because at least you'll be eating while others aren't! Seriously, keep planting what you can except for your eggplant! Herbs are great as well as anything that can be canned, bottled, dried or used as a homemade medicine. Plant onions to use for cold relief, garlic for immunity and you'll be amazed at what herbal preparations you can make from your garden! Good luck.

  Especially good for potatoes, like having your own "mini cellar". Plus you don't need to remember what you'd grown where as potatoes and tomatoes close to each other or in the same soil don't mix. Old bathtubs or those twin concrete laundry tubs make for good herb patches.

  Karen go and research the best types of lettuce as some varieties are much more nutritious than others The red romaine lettuce for example is far better for you than the iceberg. A few minutes of research will put you ahead of the game and allow you to get the seeds you really want before they disappear. Good luck!

  I have many fond memories Claude and photos too of my now deceased FIL in his substantial vegetable garden. He had REALLY green fingers and I can remember him going outside to chop up his lunch. He always grew radhiccio and ate it for lunch with onions, salt and pepper, balsamic vinegar and olive oil and he lived to be 97! He'd also break up a couple of slices of bread into the mix to mop up the juices but it certainly helped him to get to the age he got! BTW, I have a cat called Claude, he is 2 and so does my middle son and his partner. Your name must be growing in popularity! Have a nice day!

I have grown my own fruit and vegetables for over 30 years, they taste so much better, fully of flavor.

Sounds like a good idea especially since the lettuce is between 6.50 and 10.00 dollars. Love fresh grown tomatoes.

Many farmers still can't get enough of their fruit picked. Saw on a newsite that much of it is growing to rot.

I don't garden. But you are right and its been on the news that more people are buying up garden plants and seeds. Lettuce is becoming too expensive for people to buy.

Always have something growing. Nothing tastes as nice as a fresh picked vegie. We have peas at the moment. Rhubarb. Just finished picking the last of our quinces and asparagus.

I totally agree. When I move to my new house, I intend to start a vegetable garden.

Cannot plant anything where I live these days but years ago when I owned a house with a good size back yard I did plant quite a few vegetables and fruit trees. Always tasted better.
