Free Garden Seeds

basil Despite the fact that it snowed in Atlanta yesterday, Spring really is right around the corner.  One of the most frugal moves you can make this year is to grow at least some of your own veggies, fruit or herbs at home.  With the high cost of produce these days you will save a lot of cash but there are even more reasons to consider growing something yourself:

* You will know whether the produce is truly organic or not.  Believe it or not, it isn’t always cut and dry as to whether or not the stuff in the produce aisle is really grown organically.  Grow it yourself and you can be sure.

* Help the environment by decreasing food miles.  The term food miles refers to the number of miles a food item must travel from its point of origin to your plate.  Decrease the number of food miles and you decrease the amount of fuel needed to transport the food.  This helps the environment tremendously!

How about some free basil seeds – three different types – to help you start gardening right away?  All you have to do is sign up for an email newsletter from Tomato Heirlooms and they will send you free basil seeds!
