Spring is a time for preparation, not harvest. This is certainly true of my tomato plants, which you can see in this picture from about three weeks ago. I have three varieties of tomatoes growing currently, along with one pepper variety.
We finally return to our monthly tallies with a modest expenditure on seeds and soil of $55.64 this month. This is far less than I typically have spent by this point each year, but I am growing more plants from saved seed, at a substantial savings.
However, it's not all in the negative, as I harvested 0.5 ounce of leek (I know, I know...) for a value of just under $0.10.
Cumulative Totals
Harvest, Ounces: 0.5
Harvest, Pounds: 0.03125
Harvest Value: $0.10
Expenditures: $55.64
Totals Saved: ($55.55) (Total accounts for rounding)
Fast, Cheap, and Good is a philosophy of homemaking. I believe that we can care for ourselves and our families by adopting simple lifestyle habits and techniques that will improve our health, our connection to and stewardship of our world, and our finances, all without depending on a larger organization to help us through.
