My Own Market | Family Economics

By Sandy

I’ve been limited to time and space, in using all the veggies from our garden this year.

I’m still roasting and freezing my tomatoes, and I came up with a new idea for using our plentiful crop of tomatoes, because I just can’t let anything go to waste!

So last month I started doing this: instead of letting any of these beauties go to waste, I decided to put them out on my front porch, fill the basket daily, put a bucket of plastic sacks out too – and tell my friends and neighbors to help themselves!

It’s what my Grandma used to do on her farm, except on a much smaller scale.

I guess you could say it’s my own little grower’s market, right outside my front door!

Do you buy summer produce from a grower’s market or the grocery store? Do you grow them yourself, or do your friends share them with you?
