Even if you’ve never gardened before, this year may be a good time to start.  Just plan a small garden if this is your first time.  If you are experienced, consider enlarging your space.  Yesterday, we finished digging out some lawn to double the size of our small suburban garden.  All fruits and vegetables will be more expensive this year, and a well planned garden will save you money.  Plant only those items your family loves, and when your crop is ready eat, can, freeze, and dry all the produce.  Seeds and small plants will already be on sale in most areas, since planting time is short
