How to Create A Summer Salad Bowl!

      IMG_06551  IMG_86821

Hello again, savvy savers! Here is my latest gardening project this week, my Summer Salad Bowl! Each year I plant potable salad green seeds, a blend of romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, and basil in a round clay bowl, sectioned into thirds, which I am able to continually grow and cut, throughout the summer for fresh salad greens! This is the first weeks progress with this project, and I am happy to report that the lettuce is starting to sprout as you can see! This project cost $5.75 ($5.00 for the pot and saucer at my local Lowe’s, and $0.75 for the three packs of seeds at my local Dollar Tree), and will provide salads for my family, twice a week all summer long; this project will save my family $70.00 this summer!

Here’s to saving!
