Why choose between healthy, organic vegetables and saving money when you can have both? And you can do it in just a few weeks!

People are constantly on the lookout for ways to feed themselves and their families with the right amounts of vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy. Sadly, this is becoming more and more expensive.

It costs around $2 for 1 pound of tomatoes and more than double that if you want to go organic.

In comparison, for just $5, you can plant a whole pack of tomato seeds with each plant producing an average of 10 pounds.

Add to that the fewer trips to the grocery store and no plastic wrapping—you are onto a winner.

According to the National Gardening Association, the average gardener will spend only $70 a year on their garden but grow $600 worth of food.

On top of the savings, you get to enjoy freshly harvested vegetables from your garden, knowing that not a single chemical has been used. That’s health and savings in one fun activity!

Many will look at vegetable gardens and marvel at the time and skill it must have taken. In fact, all it has taken is knowledge and patience.

The patience is up to you, but the knowledge you need is right here at your future green fingertips.

There is one disease most feared in all gardens—black-thumbitis! That amazing ability to kill any type of plant. For no seed to germinate. Or even to replant a healthy plant from a nursery only to find it wilting and dying the next day.

This isn’t a lack of ability. It’s not a lack of time. More often than not, it’s a case of too much enthusiasm and not enough preparation.

Let’s get the balance right. Let’s get excited about the preparation so that the rest merely blooms.
