Top 10 Money-Saving Crops

Here are 10 of my favorite money-saving crops.

1 Leafy herbs. Leafy herbs don’t store or travel well, so they’re expensive to buy. Gardeners can save money by growing basil, parsley, cilantro, and other leafy herbs to harvest fresh as desired.

2 This is another short-lived crop once harvested, but by growing your own and harvesting little and often, a single sowing can continue to produce fresh leaves for months. Even just a few containers can produce plenty of fresh leaves.
