July 28, 2015 by Kasi Smith 1 Comment

When it comes to buying seeds and bulbs, starting up a plant, getting planters and fertilizer, and so many more things, it can all really add up. And being cheap and stingy on gardening supplies never works well, either. However, you can save some money if you know which plants give you the most bang for your buck. Here is a list of just a few of them!
