Eating organic is expensive. That means we need to get creative when it comes to stretching our budget dollars. So we're always looking for ways to get the most out of what we buy.   DISCLOSURE: This post contains affiliate links, followed by (*affiliate link). An affiliate link identifies this site.

None of your personal information is shared with me.     We buy organic potatoes, which means if we don't eat them fast enough, they often sprout.   So, the last time one of our potatoes sprouted, we decided to plant it to see what would happen.   What foods have you saved from the compost by planting them?    

Cooking and baking are two sure fire ways I can relieve stress. Growing up my mom let me experiment starting avocados and apples from seeds. My paternal grandmother let me harvest ripe cherry tomatoes from the planters on her deck. And my maternal grandmother let me pick strawberries from her yard.   Growing food is in my blood. So it was only natural that I'd want Gates to experience it for herself this Fall before the San Francisco growing season ended.     Will you be starting (or maintaining) a Fall garden this year?  

Spring is either here (or soon to be here) in most parts of the country. And that means it's time to start thinking about your summer harvests!   Whether you have a large patch of soil or a small space where you need to get creative with containers and vertical space, you can garden with your kids.     What's in your garden?
