Shopping
Stick to Your Grocery List
I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

Plant a Garden
I will plant an herb or vegetable garden at my home or community garden.
Planning
Plan to Use My Garden or CSA Produce
I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.
Planning
Make Time for Meal Prep
I will set aside time to prepare meals in advance.
Cooking
Save the Peels
When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.

Create a Weekly Meal Plan
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 5.

My favorite? I have to pick one? I have always done vegetables but this year I planted gladiolas and dahlias and WOW, they are fun with very little maintenance. -
Layl McDill 7/27/2024 6:30 PMMy garden is also slow- especially the tomato plants but they are starting to turn red and are pretty tasty! This hot weather has got to help. -
