It is no surprise that every time we go to the grocery store in Amarillo it seems we need to take out a small loan. The cost of everything keeps going up and up and groceries seem to be the root of a lot of it.

Higher grocery bills, of course, mean higher prices when we go out to eat. We take the hit regardless. So one way to make the hit a little bit easier to handle is to lower those bills. Which seems like a no-brainer if you know how to do it.

It seems every year when the weather starts to get nicer we start dreaming about our gardens. The more that we can grow ourselves the less we have to go out and shop for. That is a big way to lower our grocery bill. Doing it ourselves at home. Growing some of the food we love.

The problem may be that you have never been successful with a garden. Maybe you just need to learn the basics. You learn a lot of things growing up. Life is full of learning so you can go out and learn how to garden. Why not? There are so many benefits to growing your own food.

You already know it is cheaper. Growing your own food helps you know what is on them. No crazy chemicals on your food. Plus if you grow your own food you are more apt to eat it. You are proud of all the hard work you accomplished. Plus you will have extra veggies to share with friends and they will thank you for that.

Amarillo Parks and Recreation has just the class to help you be a successful gardener. They are offering a six-week gardening series that will help you every step of the way to grow that winning garden.
