I was just sitting around watching TV anyway, ...1. I was just sitting around watching TV anyway, so it's not like I was doing anything productive to begin with. I couldn't have made money any other way since my kiddos were sleeping, and I needed a topic for Tightwad Tuesday, anyway ;)<BR/>2. The containers are free, just an old bullion container and a jam jar that I wasn't using. I didn't pay for the jam jar (got a bunch free this year).<BR/>3. Eh, that's a really good point. I don't have much space. I'll have to figure something out if I get really in to it. <BR/><BR/>But the cost of seeds really DO add up quickly. I probably spent $40 on seeds last year, and I only buy seeds that are on sale. Granted, I will be able to reuse some of them next year, but I will have to replace a lot of them. And some seeds are expensive, depending on what you need, and they can run out if the demand is high on certain seeds. I guess for me, I'd rather do things myself and depend on myself and learn these things now, even if it's not essential for me to need to know how to do these things right now, just so I gain the skills and the knowledge. This is fast becoming a lost art, and I'd like to continue it somehow.<BR/><BR/>And I don't mind if it only saves a buck-- it's a buck more that I have in my pocket! In this economy, that means a lot.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012260724688668304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539945.post-26257799134540850212008-10-07T21:05:00.000-07:002008-10-07T21:05:00.000-07:00I understand if seeds weren't so readily available...I understand if seeds weren't so readily available how this would be beneficial, but it doesn't seem cost effective in this case 1-time consumed to pick seeds 2-cost of airtight container to pack seeds 3-space used to save seeds until next year. Now, if you had a favorite breed of veggie/fruit and the seeds were hard to come by different story of course- anyway just my thoughts-TheresaBlonde African Americanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014894900383192074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539945.post-45402507113946331972008-10-07T20:39:00.000-07:002008-10-07T20:39:00.000-07:00Really?
