Financial issues weigh heavily on your mind lately. One way to save money is to grow your own vegetables and herbs. Many produce scraps you would normally throw into the compost bin can be propagated to make new plants. Green onions that still have roots can be replanted, ensuring that the green stalks can be cut over and over again for seasoning soups and stews. Mint and basil leaves and stems can be placed in water or soil for new growth as well.
