How's the guerilla garden going, @Appleblossom? Super day to be out and about in it after all the cold weather we've been having!

Re: Helpful tips for Financial stress and hardship

That's the best incentive, @Jacquessetting a goal and saving for it. It's amazing how much wasteful spending we can trim off. 

Re: Helpful tips for Financial stress and hardship

My garden and the Court gardens are going well. Not been to guerilla garden for a bit.  Just peek at it driving by.  With all the wet it is doing fine. Last did a weed and mulch there a month ago.
