Thinking about growing your own food at home? It's a clever and satisfying way to save some cash.
Here are our top picks for easy-to-grow foods that will make your taste buds and wallet happy.
-
Herbs: boost your cooking skills with a herb garden. Basil, rosemary, thyme, and mint thrive in home gardens or even on windowsills. Growing your own herbs not only adds flavor to your meals but also saves you from buying expensive herb packs that often go bad before you can use them all.
-
Salad Greens: lettuce, spinach, kale, and rocket are perfect for home growing. They're simple to grow and give you fresh harvests all season long. Imagine picking your own greens for salads, cutting down on store trips, and crossing off those expensive pre-packaged greens from your shopping list. Grow them in raised beds or pots.
-
Tomatoes: homegrown tomatoes are always a winner. From cherry tomatoes to beefsteaks, they're fairly easy to grow and provide a generous harvest. Try planting 'indeterminant' varieties – they don't all fruit at once, so you can pick a bit at a time.
