We are continuing to share many gardening ideas with you to help you have the best, most affordable, most bountiful gardens you can with the resources that you have. Not one garden looks the same, works the same and has the same results.
We personally love to grow our food. But we do not have green thumbs! We have better results each year with more experience and trying different things to find what works best with our space, soil, weather, environment and resources. That’s why having lots of great ideas helps you to figure out the best ways to make the most of your gardens!
So this post will give you 12 ideas that much of which is not your standard ol’ garden tips to help you determine the best ways to grow your food!

Thanks so much for sharing my gardening post. Off to check out the others!

lovely ideas! It would be nice if the links all took you directly to the projects. In some cases, it just takes you to the owners page and they are difficult to sort through. I gave up looking for one of the ideas that appealed to me as I don’t have time to sort through everything.

Every time I click on the one where you grow the lettuce out of the bag, a Kelly blue book link pops up and a page to make your own website pops up at the bottom.
