Frugal gardening, what frugal gardening did you do today?

Used toilet roll inners to sow mange tout and some more peas.
I've also split up some penstimons, so instead of 1 shrub this summer i will have 3 or4.

EmptyPockets

I've used 14 plant pots given to me for free by a relative, to sow some beans and peas indoors (seeds also free!). Cut up some old milk cartons to use as labels

Also filled the raised bed in veggie patch that was built from an old, unused wooden pallet, and used some old, recycled tubs to sow herbs in (seeds bought with nectar points)

Been redecorating the lounge and decided I didn't want the large canvas wall picture so took it down and ripped off the picture which left a sturdy wooden frame which will be great to make a cold frame with!
