A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sent in their photographs and stories. I hope by sharing other peoples pictures and stories here on One Hundred Dollars a Month we can all have a rock star garden this summer. Keep them coming!
Check out these garden photos Anastasia sent in of her parents garden in Russia.
Here’s what’s she had to say:
“My family and I share the same passion for gardening. I have just started to develop my garden here, but my parents back in Russia have had theirs since I was a kid.
They need to work almost twice as hard as people here in Washington since the summer is a lot shorter and the ground freezes over for about 8 months. But all of the hard labor pays off.
They never buy any vegetables, rarely any fruit of berries. They live in Glazov, Russia.(Try finding it on a map!) I am enclosing some pictures of their garden and house that my parents built themselves.
I am really proud of their garden. Every time I visit my family in Russia I bring my two little kids with me. They dig in the ground next to my mom and I learn something new about growing my own fruit and vegetables.”
If you would like to have your garden, chicken coop or something you’ve made featured on One Hundred Dollars a Month, here’s what I’m looking for:
- Your Garden Pictures and Tips – I’d especially like to see your garden set ups, growing areas, and know if you are starting seeds indoors this year. If so, show me some picture of how you are going about it.
- Your Chicken and Chicken Related Stories – Coops, Chicks, Hen’s, Roosters, Eggs, you name it. If it clucks, send us some pictures to share with the world.
- Cool Arts & Crafts – Made from your very own hands with detailed {and well photographed} pictures and instructions.
- Your pictures and stories about your pets. The more pictures and details the better.
- Garage Sale, Thrift Store and Dumpster Diving pictures and the stories behind the treasures you found including how much you paid for them.
If I feature your pictures and the stories behind them on One Hundred Dollars a Month, I will send you a $20.00 gift card to the greatest store in the world: Amazon.com.
Go HERE for the official rules.
