I have been trying to save money everywhere that I can. The hardest place for me to cut back is my garden. I have been looking at creative ways to still "get my fix" while not spending so much. I get plants from the local golf courses when they switch the old landscaping for newer plants. I also divide my plants to take cuttings to swap for new ones. Another great cheap way to get plants is to check the clearance shelves for perennials that are to pitiful looking to charge full price for. Most of these just need a little TLC and they will survive and thrive. They may not re-bloom this season, but with a little attention they will bloom again for the next. I also check out my local farmer's markets, flea markets and yard sales, and dollar stores. Does anybody else have any thrifty tricks of the trade that they use?
