Clearance but need a few for something in near future. Will see if there's any left next week. Growing your own fruit and eating it is delicious. I try to find ways to spend less money whenever possible! If I had more time I'd enjoy making more jam and drying apple and bananas to name a few.

Our land is mostly sandy and it would take months of manure spreading to even make it tolerable to grow things. When spring comes I'll hang my tomato planter and try some beans in it. <br />Having fresh beets would be glorious. I'm craving pickled ones so I may find some and do that tomorrow. <br />amulbunny's random thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621932038345682056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-61539364882319966742017-10-03T21:12:18.988+01:002017-10-03T21:12:18.988+01:00Thank youThank youSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-81012052750860891892017-10-03T21:11:58.357+01:002017-10-03T21:11:58.357+01:00Living in town last year I spent a fortune on frui...Living in town last year I spent a fortune on fruit and veg.
