They had lots of posts about square foot gardening, and container gardening that were really helpful. People were always posting their Mel's mix formulas, sharing pics of their gardens and lots of tips.

I need to check in there, haven't been in a while.

I feel like even growing a little bit of produce, or herbs, or whatever, is helpful when the budget is low. One tip I have is if you're looking at plants for next year, try to find ones with more than one seedling in them. I did this a couple of years ago and got several extra plants, and they all did well.

Also, my sister got loads of tomato plants for about 20 cents a six-pack, because they were at the end of the early growing season and some didn't look so great. I think she got cucumbers and squash as well. She ended up with enough plants for her and the boyfriend, and shared the produce with our mother and me.
