Welcome to the Carnival of Homesteading: Vegetable Gardening Edition!

Planting time has arrived in much of the country, so be sure to check out these excellent articles on growing tomatoes, raised-bed gardening, container gardening and a look at homemade weedkillers.  Hungry?  We have recipes featuring mushrooms, rhubarb, apples and more!  And don’t miss all the frugal and finance tips: saving money — always a good idea –  is especially worth doing in our current economy.
