Welcome to Making Sense New England, a monthly series about the economy and you. We're here to share ideas, advice and solutions to the economic challenges facing all of us. The stories come from neighborhoods throughout northern New England and take on some of the problems caused by the recession. Today, we take you outdoors to plant a recession-proof victory garden. And - financial literacy, learned on the job. Plus - advice from a job-hunter.
