Well I did start a new blog at Xanga, but I don't put any of my frugal findings/doings on it, so I have decided to start this one up again.... I want to keep a record of our frugality for myself (and if it helps/encourages others, then that's wonderful.)

I want to start revamping an old website that I have on Yahoo regarding Frugal and Simple Living... it's very basic, with just information... I was going to read some web design books and try to make a really good site, but that just isn't my cup of tea, so I'm going to try and find a site with a template that I really like.
Any suggestions?

Last night we did some cleaning of our garden. When we moved in there were raspberry plants, onions and garlic already growing. This year the garlic and onions have taken over the raspberries, so we dug a bunch up. Hopefully the raspberries will expand more.

I had brought home some gardening books from the library (but never went through them). I need to figure out how to replant onions/garlic so we can put them where we want them to grow. And how to replant daffodils/tulips, since we have them in the middle of the garden, and if we expand the raspberries, they will be in the way.

So how what does this have to do with being frugal? Well this year we decided to grow some other vegetables... and in doing so our water bill has gone up a lot. So we decided next year we want items that take less watering (raspberries, rhubarb, garlic, onion... which we already have) and just put a few tomato plants in buckets.
As much as we enjoy fresh fruit/veggies, we don't like the upkeep and would rather buy them at a farmer's market.
