I was having this conversation with a friend and we both got some useful ideas from each other (cancelling various underused subscription services, making use of libraries, more home vege gardening etc) - curious to know what else people are trying.

    Thanks for the tips! Do you try to stagger your planting to stop them all being ready at the same time?

      If the plants I’ve mentioned I find they either stay growing for a long time (cucumber, courgette) or store very well (garlic, onion etc). We do multiple batches of onions and carrots still but the others I mentioned there usually just one. Brassicas, beans etc we do usually stagger though, as well as getting early starts in the greenhouse and with a seedling warming mat.

        You know, it sounds like a full time job 😆

          I feel ya. It’s a hobby for us so we don’t mind the time, but we probably spend at least a couple of hours a week each in the garden.

            I’m amazed it’s only a couple of hours a week! That would be well worth the time investment, I’d think. Especially if you enjoy it 🙂
