"Of the seven deadly sins, surely it is pride that most afflicts the gardener." — Michael Pollan, Second Nature: A Gardener's Education
Having spent $186.27* on raised bed soil, seeds, & plants for my two raised beds this year, I am unlikely to even earn my money back in produce from my garden. But I have gotten my money's worth & then some in pride & enjoyment from cultivating these plants.
Tomatoes! Green onions! Kale! Chard! Peppers! Strawberries!
Herb fountain. ::: Slow berry production. ::: Future pasta sauce.
* This is a pretty good estimate; however, I don't remember exactly how much I spent on one packet of marigold seeds. I estimated $4. They never sprouted.
