Thank you for these great tips. Jenny

I think a lot of people are looking for more frugal ways to do things. Sometimes it becomes a contest to see just how loud you can make those pennies shriek!!!! My son started listening to Clark Howard several years ago and it really opened his eyes to things we'd tried to instill in him concerning debt for years. Suddenly mom and dad weren't so off the wall, lol... I also had a Math teacher in the 8th grade that really brought home to her students the meaning of 'caveat emptor'..... She would also make us figure out how many hours based on an average wage a person had to work for whatever was popular/hot at the moment. I taught my kids to do that from time to time when they thought they just had to have something. It's an eye opener! It's a shame they don't make teachers like her anymore. Some of these are better than others. Take what ya need and leave the rest. :) http://www.tightwad.com/ http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/index.php?s=37bd3402327961db160b1f7ea300921e http://www.thesimpledollar.com/ http://frugal.families.com/blog/ http://www.stretcher.com/index.cfm http://www.allthingsfrugal.com/ http://community.stretcher.com/ http://frugalliving.about.com/ http://www.frugalmom.net/

Mandolls, you have a great setup, and you sure do get a lot of wonderful plants from what you're doing. I plan to get some grow lights. You're inspiring me. Kiskin, and Janna, do you have any tips about propagating from cuttings? Tishtosh, do you cloche them with soda bottles? Or in milk bottles? When it comes to winter sewing, would you put your plants on a second story deck, or on the ground? Would they get colder on the deck do you think? Sprout, I got a vision of you/me slamming on the brakes, running up to some stranger's house and collecting seeds. Made me lol. I think you meant you got all the seeds from your own yard? So how do you sow your seeds? Grow lights indoors?
