I love planting my garden from the dead and dying section of the garden centre.
I get them home and feed them. Sort them out and plant them in my garden.
Blessings and hugs

Yes! Karen, exactly! Those are some of the best plants
I took a plant propagation course at vocational night school. The teacher would not let us say dirt for soil. So everytime a you tuber uses dirt instead of soil, i think of him. He said dirt is negative and soil is positive.
I was always taught the soil is for planting plants into and dirt you swept off the floor!
We have never thought of it that way.
You tubers 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
😂 I took a plant biology course in high school back in the 70's. My teacher insisted on the term soil, not dirt. It was the correct term and the only one she'd allow.😂
Good soup recipe. Easy peezy.
I'm retired from horticulture & my best tip is ALWAYS get to know your local agriculture extension office. Every state has one and they are run by a college. They offer free advice and MANY low cost classes . I took a potato growing refresher course. 5.00 & I got a sack of potato seed starts. The classes vary. From irrigation , canning , having your well water or soil tested , backyard chicken & beekeeping to name just a few. If you are in Florida contact your local IFAS office.
Yes!! Great tip. Thanks so much for sharing that.
I make soup in my crockpot, and it only cost me approximately $.30 per serving. The crockpot will hold 10 servings at 2 cups per serving. The price will fluctuate bit depending on that weeks prices.
Absolutely!
I live in a city but my neighbors and I have a small back yard. My neighbors tend a beautiful garden and I get to admire it. They have it set up where when one plant or flower ends its cycle, another varietal comes up. It is amazing what they did and how they knew how to design it so it would happen this way. Throughout the spring-fall you get to see a few really cool changes occur.
That is awesome! That’s a very well planned out garden for sure
Plant Zinnias, beautiful and hardy cut flower all the way till fall
Yes, thank you!!
I plant lots of perrineals. Just like your bulbs, I buy from Lowe's, the discounted perineals. After year 2 many can be split and divided, to make even more plants. I trade with friends and neighbors. Developements are popping up all over in my area. The deer are hungry and did a good job of eating most of my flowers and shrubs. Now I include deer resistant plant in every bed. Zinnias, hellebore, rosemary, boxwood, lilly of the valley (the mother lotv came from my mother's garden 47 years ago)...
We have several acres and the bottom acre, along the creek, is planted with berry bushes, and an old apple tree left just for them♡🦌
What a wonderful comment! I am sure the deer are thankful lol
2 years ago I tried a vegetable garden in pots. I did not get much. I took a class at a local botanical garden. It was my soil. I have purchased more pots, fresh soil and fertilizer. Hopefully it will work this time. I'm planting tomatoes, 2 type of cucumbers, 2 kinds of lettuce, Spinach, swiss chard, 2 kinds of squash and green beans. Hopefully something will grow. The time before I only had grape tomatoes the size of marbles.
Thanks for sharing. I too am not too successful with growing vegetables, but I keep trying. I am a little successful with strawberries. And homegrown ones tastes so much better! After I eat it, I stick the little edge in soil and it grows a little plant.
Wishing you only the best for this year’s garden! Keep us posted
May I suggest trying a DIY Hydroponic system, that can be used and reused after cleaning at the end of each season. If one has Grow-lights, they can also be used in the garage. You can get Food Grade buckets from ice cream stores and other parts from a hardware store, or REstore, where they would be cheaper.
I am changing my menu because a local store has whole chickens for $1 per pond and ground beef for $3 per pound. I live in Pennsylvania and near to the Hanover food outlet. I get there about every 3 months and try to stock up on frozen and canned veggies!
Oh, that’s wonderful!
i am doing a garden again. At 78 I cant do as much in the past but as live with daughter and her sons it will feed us all and they will help. I plan and start seeds inside. then the work is shared
That is so wonderful! Love to read comments like this!
Just printed out the soup recipe, sounds so good! I love lemon in almost anything!
Thanks for the little tutorial on storing the tulip bulbs. I've also been known to take some of the old tulip plants that are in the trash pile at the cemetery, to store for the summer and then plant in the fall. Sounds kind of crazy, but hate to see the bulbs go to waste. Good luck with planting flowers this summer! 🌷
Good for you! Yes, those bulbs would go right into the trash
Blessings to you both!
I hope you realize that you are doing a great service to all your followers!
I have learned so much from your videos❤
Thank you so much! That is so encouraging to hear!
Hi! Could you make a video on 'how to save money DOING LAUNDRY'? Laundry detergent is not a food, but can take a big chunk of the grocery budget. New mothers especially might like this video. For instance, do you use cloth diapers or disposables? Do you machine dry your babies blankets and such or line dry? Do you use any soap or brands 'especially made for baby'?
Is it worth it to use laundry pods (children may eat them).
Please consider this video. Blessings and I hope your garden does well!
I use the laundry ball...over 300+washes!!
Great suggestion!
I am living in a condo (in tropical HI) and do not have a garden. But shortly after we moved in about two years ago, I put two papaya trees (only little plants then, not even a foot high) in containers in front of our unit and we already have several fruits and more to come. We also had some last year. Funny that you mentioned wild flowers, because I also put some seeds underneath each papaya tree as well as in an extra pot on the balcony. They are already about 2-3 inches tall. Due to HOA rules I cannot have too many veggie or fruit plants on my lanai (balcony), but I do have several herbs, lettuce and one strawberry plant in addition to decorative green leaf plants.
That is so wonderful you are using the space you have to grow beautiful flowers, and fruits!
Emmy, I think you would love a book I just read for my book club. It's called Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan. It's about 4 women in the depression area who are taking part in a cooking contest to best use rationed foods, kitchen scraps and foods that are on hand.
Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I will look into it! Thank you so much for the recommend😊
My kind of book.Thank you.
First time viewing this channel it's great😊
Susie, I am just seeing this comment! Welcome! So happy you found us! Thank you!
We have bought our fruit trees and bushes this year and are getting them all planted in. It can take several years to get fruit, so we wanted to make sure to get them in as soon as we could. I am happy to say that we have asparagus this year already too. We planted that last year, knowing we would not get a harvest the first year or two, but already this year, we have very large stalks. I am really looking forward to getting a lot of perennials so that we don't have to work so hard on the garden each year. I was also able to find Egyptian Walking Onions last year and they are doing great this year too. If I do it right, I may not have to even plant any onions next year.
We agree. Perennials are the way to go. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Emmy and Paul.
Appreciate the work and time and thought you put into your videos, they are somehow both comforting and soothing to me. Thank you for all the useful information.
I have a couple of questions for you:
1. Is there a reason you don't write the year on the food you put into the freezer?
2. Do you do a cost per unit determination for the food/cleaning supplies you buy? For example, would it be cheaper to buy a larger size of dishwashing soap?
Looking forward to seeing those tulips bloom!
We don’t put the year on the food we freeze because there would be no way we would keep it for more than a year. We don’t have that big of a stockpile. I always check cost per unit.
Great info. Leftovers made a delicious soup. I buy clearance bouquets at Fred Meyer (Kroger) almost every week. I create several vases of blooms. I’ve found that carnations, daisies and zinnias look good for weeks.
Love that idea! Fresh flowers just add so much to the home
My hubs and I planted a bunch of tomatoes, lettuces and greens, squash, cucumbers, and zinnias to attract the pollinators! He makes the best marinara sauce, so I'm hoping to have enough tomatoes to can!
Sounds wonderful!
I made "Inventory Soup" this morning. I thought of you, Emmy!😄
Yay! I love comments like this lol
This was a wonderful presentation. Paul showing us about bulbs and you doing the cooking. You two are an inspiration on this wonderful Saturday.
Thanks so much Mary! What a lovely compliment!
You guys are amazing! I just love this channel. I truly admire both of you. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! Edith, what a lovely compliment
I bought a geraniums plant end of season last year. Kept it in my bedroom window. In March I had a bloom on it and today a glorious red flower emerged to make me happy.
Psssst I added a tiny spiral copper wire which keeps bugs out of the soil. Also used urine diluted to water it.
Not sure if I am reading this correctly...
Please be aware that the outside of the mango (not the fruit itaelf) contains ushriol which is the same chemical in poison ivy. Some people are a little more allergic than other. I love mangos, but need to wear gloves and no longer chew off the fruit from the skin. If I do, I get "clown lips" as it causes my lips to get irritated and swell. Just an FYI 😄 Thank you for all you do to encourage us. :) Big win this Thursday -- I was so tired and had no energy to cook--Thinking of you, I grabbed a bag of frozen pork picatta I made months ago. I thawed it in cold water and put it in a pan. It was delicious a second time. We were soooo close to just ordering take out, but we didn't. We used up leftovers. With fresh noodles, my husband thought I cooked this entire meal again. He hates leftovers the next day, but doesn't mind a month or so later. ❤
Thanks for the tip about the outside of the mango! I had no idea
Thank you so much for the very helpful information about the mango. Also, win-win not going for takeout. 🤗
May God bless you both too.
Thank you so much!
Love the little birds 🐦 I have one similar to remind me even the little birds are provided what they need
Absolutely, Leslie!
As a South Floridian, our regular gardening season already ended, now we are enjoying the limited gardening summer season with only plants that we know can survive our summer heat, sun, humidity and pest pressure.
I'm xurrently growing Seminole pumpkins, Everglades tomatoes, Puerto Rican black beans, several herbs in the shade and of course all our tropical fruit trees are starting to set fruits (mangoes, avocados, cuban limes, etc)
I love your videos, always enjoy your creativity on the "No food waste recipies", and even as a vegan I almost always find something about the recipies that I can adapt and apply in my own kitchen. Thank you and may the Lord deeply bless you!
Thank you so much for a great comment! It’s so so amazing. You’re growing season is almost over and ours hasn’t even begun.
My volunteer tomato plants are starting to flower and my longevity spinach is coming back nicely. I'm checking the peach tree twice a day and they are so close! Florida peaches are much smaller but delicious! The ponderosa lemon tree has blooms and some lemons starting to form. My sand dune sunflowers haven't volunteered in my yard but I found them behind my fence so I'm going to cut some to bring to work on Monday. Our county is giving away some fruit trees tomorrow but I don't think I can get home in time to take Dad to have lunch with my niece who's in town just for the weekend.
Sounds like you have a wonderful garden!
I just found your channel and I love it. Thank you for your videos. Love the frugal videos!
Yes…Gardening is fun. Big or small!
Great reminder that Frugal Meals are using what we have….Sometimes recipes require ingredients that are unique and pricey
Stir Frys, Soups, Casseroles, One put meals are the best. Simpler the better
So true! Very well said!
So many great ideas. Thanks so much!❤
You are so welcome!
Good video Paul and Emmy. I'm in Kansas City and we have onions, radishes and carrots planted in the garden already. In May we will plant tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce.
That is so great that you can start planting already
Have a wonderful weekend stay safe and healthy. My favorite utuber ❤. You are so real and wish you were my neighbors. Always do a flower garden every year. Love to watch the beauty as they grow
What a lovely comment! Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words🤗
I poke a small hole to release the air out of packaged food and then food saver them. That way the bag is still clean, I rinse, air dry and reuse for the same purpose again. Those food saver bags can get expensive :)
Great tip! Moisture doesn’t get in?
@@FrugalMoneySaver I haven't had a problem with it. I try to use half a bag at a time (the 12 ounce bags) and quickly reseal and put back in the freezer. Then the next time I still have a relatively large food saver bag leftover that I can just rinse out and dry...then I'll use it for something that I will throw it out after. Just trying to get several uses out of it!
We are not able to grow a garden this year, but my husband is able to harvest small tree starts from our friend's land, and we've been planting them along the back of our property to create natural privacy between us and an industrial property.
That’s such a clever idea!
Our Library has started a seed library. You can check out seeds for free. At the end of the season you report back how things went. I've started tomatos, cucumbers, bush beans, snow peas, and New Zealand spinach. I can't plant until after the last frost which in the mountains of Arizona will be around June 1st or so.
What a great idea! Love that so much!
Excited to start planting my flower and vegetable garden. Also repotting and refreshing my big planters of plants.
I love propagating my succulents… so easy and frugal.
I have new Avocado, Lemon, Loquot trees in pots started from seeds
Wonderful! I wish we had more fruit trees!
You are just so real with your shopping, l also don't shop just for food. I have a shopping budget not one for groceries, one for laundry products, etc. 😊
Thanks for sharing!
Gardening is the best.
I grow my produce gardens every year.
Hi Emmy and Paul, We really do good in our garden with white patty squash, the kind that looks like flying saucers! They are easy and quick to grow and you can make them with any pasta gravy or bake them etc. They are wonderful!!!!!! We also have found giant chard to do well for us. They are good, and they are sturdy greens to grow. You can stir fry them, do soups etc.
Tonight we're doing a soup/light pasta gravy, I'm putting it up on my blog tomorrow! I have a blog up now from a month ago with a shot of four generations of our hands.
It's been crazy here, Emmy My mom has dementia, it's a trial breaks my heart. Our second born was in surgery today and back home but needing another surgery, hubs was in surgery last month.... Oh dear me. I don't know what I would do without the Lord. Thinking of you all, we're out here watching my Italian friends. ; ) Thanks Paul for showing us how to 'dead head' our flowers.
Prayers are coveted, a hug. ~Amelia My Forest Cathedral blog
Amelia, you have our prayers. Every stage of life that we are presented with God is already there. He is our strength and our refuge. So sorry you are going through so much💕
@@FrugalMoneySaver Thank you so much. : )💕
This most recent video was so timely for me. My husband bought me a potted Easter bouquet and the tulips, mini daffodils and hyacinth are finally past their prime. I am going to deadhead the flowers and save the bulbs for fall. Thank you for showing us how to do that. We are growing roma tomatoes, zucchini, green beans and radishes in our garden this year. We also have a wildflower mix that we are going to try for the first time.
How wonderful! We will be together on our wildflower journey, lol!
We are planning a humongous garden this year, plus we've added 10 trees, 6 additional blueberry bushes, turmeric, and horseradish (I decided to grow that after Paul showed how to grow it!!). I am stoked!! I plan to preserve as much produce as possible.
Wonderful! That’s the way to do it! So excited for you
We live in the southern Nevada, where it’s tough to keep plants alive during the intense summers. We’ve tried gardens in the past without much luck, but this year our kids are old enough to not get into things and with crazy raising prices, we just had to get this inflation garden going. Spring came early for us and now we have we have strawberries going and potential in our tomato plants. And fingers crossed we’ll get carrots this year!
Also we don’t have a yard, just a 24x12 ft cement patio. So we plant in pots and hang baskets. It’s possible to grow anywhere!
Yes! We plant most of our vegetable plants in containers! Works great!
Thank you Paul for the wonderful garden lesson! And thank you Emmie for the wonderful recipe idea! 🧡🧡
You are so welcome!
Not planting anything this year because I'm moving. Congrats on finding the tulips at Tractor Supply. Tulips are my all-time favorite flower.
Thank you so much!
Save veggie scraps,bones, from meat, chicken skin,make stock or bone broth from it.
Save fruit scraps for fruit smoothie,jams, preserves,jelly,fruit cake, muffins,etc.
Yes! Wonderful uses of those foods
The soup sounds delicious! Great deal on the Scott tissue! I live in a condo. Every year I have a balcony garden. I grow veggies like cherry tomatoes, lettuce, spring onions. Herbs and flowers.
Good luck with the wildflowers!
That is so wonderful! Love that you have a balcony garden!
We had some pulled pork my son-in-law gave us, some leftover pineapple and a cup of coconut cream left from another meal and found a great recipe on the internet. I had to make some homemade Chinese 5 spice (recipe from the internet also). It was absolutely delicious 😋
Sounds great! Super creative of you!
Your soup looks wonderful! My husband is like Paul in that he likes less broth and more of a stew-like soup. I was waiting for the crowning touch, the cheese! 🤣👏🏻🇮🇹🇮🇹 Have a great weekend. ❤
Lol! We just think cheese just makes everything better😂
Pearl 🐱 and I are glad to see you! The first advertisement before your video was for a credit card!😂 I don't have a garden, but if I did, peas, yellow beans, tomatoes and corn would be on my list for sure.
A flower garden would need pansies, roses, tulips, lilacs...
Lol! Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of control over our ads 🙄
Tomatoes put out suckers that you can root and have new plants...just break them off and put into water - they will root in about a week. All the hairs on the stems of tomatoes will make roots - so to have a stronger plant lay the plant down horizontally and cover it with soil to have more roots pulling nutrients and moisture from the soil.
Wonderful tip! Thank you so very much
We live in Texas and are facing our 3rd year of drought. So we have planted lettuce, onion and garlic. Not much. Our big project instead is building a greenhouse. Hopefully this fall we can plant a big winter garden.
Oh, a greenhouse would be wonderful!
Put a small containtergarden in with some try outs : onions, pepper, paprika, sweet potato, parsley , beetroot, chives and strawberries.
Sounds wonderful!
I saved my junk mail all year, shred it, and kept it in a very large trash bag. Then, in early spring, I mix part by hand into my raised garden bed and till the rest into the vegetable garden soil. It is the most help my politicians have given me, as often their letters & flyers go into the soil instead of the landfill. Also, I save my egg shells all year, and every month or so, place them on cookie sheets and heat them in a 350 oven for 10 minutes to kill off any bacteria, then I grind them up and sprinkle them on the garden to add calcium to the soil.
Thanks for sharing your tips!
I'm planting veggies again this year. I'm pretty practical when it comes to my planting. I plant what we eat and I can't buy inexpensively at the many local farmstands in our area. So, paste tomatoes and a type of cherry tomato my husband loves to snack on, peppers, root veggies, green beans, and lots of lettuces. We have sugar snap peas in the ground right now as well as garlic. My space is limited so I grow what we can use and preserve. I plant squashes too.
As to flowers, I love zinnias and perennials of all types. Marigolds are a must as they take me back to my grandmom's house down the shore. Seeds are germinating and growing. It should be a good year.
Your garden sounds like it’s absolutely wonderful
Your videos are simply the best! Thanks to you and Paul for sharing your knowledge with us!❤
Lisa, what an encouraging comment! Thank you so much🤗
Hi Emmy & Paul! Love your channel! ❤ I loved that you were able to buy bulb flowers at such a discounted rate, process them and store them to plant for next season! That’s a great idea! I am a gardener who loves to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Every year I learn new ways to do things more economically. The biggest saver for me is saving seeds. There are all kinds of videos on how to collect seeds. It has saved me so much money. I grow my own seedlings instead of buying plant starts. It’s so much cheaper! 😁👍
Thank you so so much for a wonderful comment
Thanks for share with us ❤. God bless all❤
After Christmas Home Depot has Christmas cactus on sale. I pick up a few and nurture them until next Christmas. I keep some and have some to give as presents.
Such a thoughtful idea!
Thank you for reminding me that I saved some bulbs and when I got them from storage space they were already sprouting.
Glad we could help!
Soup looks delicious perfect for spring. Also your pink floral tablecloth looks so pretty- maybe peonies on it?
Love that you are sharing step by step gardening tips. So much easier to see it actually being done than just reading about it. Looking forward to more- Paul does a great job demonstrating and explaining his process.
Have planted tulip bulbs but squirrels love to dig them up and rabbits chomp the leaves but the ones that survive look so pretty in the spring and are a welcome sign after a long ❄️ winter .
Safe travels when you head south.
Thank you so much for the encouragement on our videos!
Another great video Emmy & Paul. Very encouraging and helpful.
Hope you both have a wonderful week. God bless you.❤
Thank you! You too! Hope you are feeling much better Yvonne!
Cute Emmy different pastas together
Only me right, lol
Just dug up red potatoes and a few russet potato plants. Planted on Jan.3rd
We have potatoes for 2 months.
Today we planted eggplants 🍆
Tomato 🍅 plants and bell peppers 🫑
Plants. We soaked okra seeds for 2 days now, planting them today.
We only have 3- 4x8 raised beds. We get quite a bit of food from that little garden!
I have many flower gardens/beds. We now have snapdragons and had petunias, wind and rain destroyed them.
Now we have coleus and periwinkles
To plant. We have 2 supertunias to plant in pots for the front porch.
We have so many knockout red roses in my yard, they are so beautiful and bloom 10 months out of the year here.
I have many Asteric lilies getting ready to bloom in about 2-3 weeks, I have Stella Lillie’s. I love live flowers so much, i cut I bring them in, coleus too
Your garden sounds absolutely wonderful! It’s amazing. You’re already getting food from it this early in the season.
Have been ill a long time but plan to have containers' gardens and starting plants in a partable greenhouse.
Great idea!
Hi Emmy & Paul! I’ve had minimal success with vegetables and fruits, but I keep trying. Herbs are ok. And happy with strawberries. Homegrown strawberries taste so much better! And after I eat it, I stick the little piece back in soil to grow another plant. Good luck everyone with your gardens!💗
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing that strawberry tip!
I live in Florida so I grow lots in buckets. I just harvested seeds from Tatsoi greens. I have tomato starts, 4 different kinds, 5 different kinds of peppers,onions, potatoes, radishes planted. This weekend I have corn, beans, squash and cucumbers going in. I took today off to do most of it but after 9 inches of rain yesterday it is too wet right now. I buy heirloom seeds and save seeds year to year. I love my garden it is my happy place. It is also a working progress hoping each year gets better improving the soil. Best gardening tip, grow for your climate. Look into library resources for free seeds and resource books or groups to learn from.
This week there was a meat sale at our discount store. I bought 10 pounds of ground beef and have a huge pot of chili on the stove, more cooked ground beef cooked and ready for the freezer. That is the way I shop. Buy all on-sale and eat what we have.
Thanks for your video, I really enjoy them. Love to you all.
What a wonderful informative comment, Julie! Thank you so much for taking the time to share 🤗
Just planted sweet banana peppers and sweet 100s tomatoes yesterday❤
Sounds great!
I looked up whether you should cut back the foliage. This is what I found. I'm sure it works either way!
Tulip foliage should not be removed until it has turned brown and died. The length of time it takes the foliage to die back depends on bulb type, weather, and other factors. The foliage of most tulips usually doesn’t die back until late June or early July. The foliage of tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs is performing a vital function. It is manufacturing food for the underground bulbs. Premature removal of the plant foliage reduces plant vigor and bulb size, resulting in fewer flowers next spring. After the foliage has turned brown, it can be safely cut off at ground level and discarded.
Yes, that is what Paul said. The foliage has to die on its own because it gives the bulb nutrients. The only thing he cut was to deadhead the flowers off.
Oh no. I cut my spent tulips plant I got and was planning on just planting the bulbs somewhere. Do u really have to dry them out? Cause in nature the bulbs just stay in the ground year round. I thought they just needed to be exposed to a cold period?
Moved last July. First year of a new garden. Planted 3 sour cherries, 2 rhubarb and 10 red raspberries. Lettuce, spinach and peas planted. Other seed starts in the house yet
Sounds absolutely wonderful!
Hi Paul and Emmy. I’d like some grape tomatoes and zucchini. I’d love more but don’t want DH to overdo. He’s still going to cardiac rehab
Oh yes! Please take it easy!
Have planted spring onions celery ends
That’s wonderful!
Thank you for the spring bulb tip. I love all your tips and recipes. DIY tips are very much appreciated and helpful🌄
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
There are little blue wild flowers that are wonderful to grow with jolly jump ups.Do the first from seed.This heart combo does great.
Thanks for the tips!
Great video-Thanks for the bulb tips. I LOVE to garden here in northern WI. I found that "Sun" is the key to success. I do lots of containers and move in and out of sunshine during the different times of year. One tip- I have been saving geraniums for years by removing plants the fall-place in cardboard boxes and store in the basement. Now in spring, take leaves off and place stems in containers of water and place in a sunny window. They will sprout and leaf out. I plant and love to watch them come to life. I label the boxes in the fall so I know the color of the flowers. Have a great week.
What a great tip on the geraniums! Thank you so much
Great video ya'll! Down here in Texas I've found that Cosmos grow really well and make beautiful arrangements. There are so many varieties. Bulbs can be kind of tricky in our hot weather, but I plan to give that a try.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I plant basil and green onions all year round on my kitchen windowsill. So easy! They not only taste good but the greenery looks nice too.
Great tip!
I often do soups and stews in my slow cooker. It is a very economical way of cooking. Enjoyed the video x
It really is!
Lol. I too buy for my grown daughter. During Easter, I bought Best Foods large mayo for 2.00, gave it to her.
I also eatBacon❤️❤️❤️
Love it!! Thanks so much Dana for the encouragement!
Emmy and Paul, thanks for sharing your experience and the way you approach it. I’m trying that. I could eat soup every night.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
Love and hugs right back, Linda!
Great video as usual. Thank you Paul for informing us on how to save those bulbs! 👍 Wonderful deals as always folks! Emmy - My ShopRite had those Contadina San Marzano tomatoes on a Manager's Special for $0.79! Although I had 3 cans already, I had to get at least one! May be chatting with you soon about Nona's sauce. 😉 Enjoy your stay in South Cackalacki! I hope you have a wonderful time!!! ❤
Lol! You are so funny! That’s a great deal for $.79. Would be happy to talk about Nonna sauce anytime💕
I really enjoy your videos!! I love Paul in the garden..as a newbie gardener i really like how he shows us how to do things... can he post more!!
Absolutely! You will see him for all our gardening tips😊
That soup looked amazing! Thank you for sharing!
So good!
Love your tip for bulbs! I always wanted some, but didn't want to pay the price. Now I'll look for them on sale after holidays!
Yes! Hope you find some at a great price
Thanks for this video, Emmy and Paul! 😁
Thank you for watching!
Great deal on the ice cream!
Yes! I couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was.
I’m planning on a small garden. As it is just me, I don’t need a large one. Will see how I do with canning and freezing when the time comes. It’s been years since I’ve done either one!
Sounds wonderful!
That soup looks amazing! Definitely going to make it. I want a small vegetable garden in planters. ❤
You should! Hope you enjoy the soup!
Oooohhhhh, I will be near a Tractor Supply tomorrow!
Have fun!
P.S. We are also doing Big Boy tomatoes and a couple of others...the big tomatoes are better to do than the little ones for us. Might as well pick big ones then little ones. lol San Marzano tomatoes would be very neat to grow and make extra special pasta gravies with those although I think the Americani ones should be fine! : ) amelia
Great video went to store today. Prices insane.
Oh wow!
I discovered last year that I love delicate squash! I can't wait to try growing it this year!
Wonderful!
I’m growing some veggies in pots on my porch….
That’s wonderful! It’s so fun to grow food!
Wow soup is something i decided to do for a meal this week while meal planning before I saw your video. I also have started a flower garden from seeds . I've never done that before. I've already got growth. I hope it works. I have done the bulb planting at other homes i have lived at. Thank you for the reminder. Will have to try it in my new home.Thanks you are always so encouraging and fun to watch.
What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much!
I love treating myself to flowers as well. Lidl has beautiful bouquets in a great price range. To bulk up those bouquets, i clip some of my hosta leaves and add it to my bouquet. It looks so full and like something that i paid a lot for from a florist. Have a great weekend 🎉
You as well! Thank you so much for that tip too!
Yes, for a garden our direction! We will be raising tomatoes, beans, green peppers and some herbs. I’m excited about Spring! Great lost leader’s bargains! Thanks for another encouraging video that helps me to think outside the ordinary with frugality. You two are the best ❤️
What a very kind comment! Thank you so much
At grocery pears were $1 kilo apples 80 cents a kilo
That’s a great price
While in Amsterdam went to the flower mart. I found a delft blue shoe. In it was black and dark blue bulbs. A friend bought bags of tulips. She even had the bulbs marked ok for coming into the US. In Alanta they took them saying it wasn’t ok. They took all her bags. She was sad to see them go. When we got home we noticed we had bulbs in the toe of the shoe. My son gave them to her so her mom could look at them and enjoy them. Plan on a small scale. Pie pumpkins for sure, tomatoes spinach, green beans and carrots.
Oh my goodness what a story!
