Growing $$$

by C.C. Owens

Money doesn’t grow on trees, but you might be able to grow it in your back yard. If you are looking for a way to make money this summer, try planting a garden and selling what you grow.

Sound like too much work? Consider this:

• After your garden is planted, your main job is to water and weed the plants until harvest time. You can do this in 30-40 minutes a day. (Most gardens will take less time.) Then, you have the rest of your day free.

• Gardens cost very little to start. The average veggie or herb plant can be bought for $2-3. Remember that money you’ve been saving in your piggy (or squirrel) bank? Here
