Frugal Living Today

You’ll need to excuse me for a minute here while I go off on a slight rant.

I just can’t seem to understand why people think that plants exist only for their looks.  No folks, that’s what supermodels exist for.  Plants on the other hand, can be made to help earn their keep.

I’d be you have at least a few plants around your home.  The kitchen window is usually a great place for them to flourish, but don’t waste your valuable space and time on the same old tired plants that everyone else in the neighborhood has – get a few small herb plants!

Fresh herbs can cost as much as two or three bucks for a tiny packet at the supermarket, or you could pay the same amount for a live plant and have no need to purchase your parsley, basil, oregano, marjoram, chives or mint again.

If you have space on your porch for a hanging planter why not consider one of the hybrid cherry tomato plants (Sweet 100 comes to mind) that grow well in that environment?  Trust me, you’ll appreciate it when you make your summer salads.

Now get out there and make your houseplants do something for you!
