Free/thrifty plants from the garden.

Fall is quickly coming. Want to plant some mums? Let me give a frugal piece of advice. Don’t buy the bigger plants. Buy the smaller plants. They will grow and you can split them later if you can be patient. You can save a lot of money by buying the smaller versions and feeding them Miracle Grow. By the end of the season, they will be the same size as the bigger plants but your wallet won’t be as light.
Another way to save money in the garden is sharing. Do you have a friend that likes to garden as well? Maybe this year you can both divide your favorite plants and swap. That way, you can both have some new plants without spending any money.
