There's been massive demand and many outcries for a Gardening Board. So here it is. I hope this will be a great place for MoneySavers to swap tips, share ideas and experiences on gardening the MoneySaving way.

    Can I plant the first seed?

    I don't think you can beat homegrown veg. I usually grow runnerbeans, tomatos, spring onions,lettace, radish and various herbs.

    I also have cherrytrees, apple trees and pear trees.

    plus a compost bin.

    I'm looking forward to learning alot more from others.

    First request for this Board!

    I've a half memory of someone mentioning a webiste which links people up to swap half packets of seed - is this a dream I had or does someone know of it?
    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.
