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.

How Much Does a Garden Grow: June 2015
Nothing quite so pretty as a June garden, made even prettier by some harvests!
June brought over 3 pounds of garden harvest worth more than $14. With no expenditures, we are crawling our way out of the red and into the black, which we typically achieve some time in July.
Notable harvests in June included 4 ounces of garlic that grew over the winter and 3 ounces of cilantro, along with a few peas, leeks, and greens.
The big harvest, however, was from our two producing blueberry bushes. By the end of June, they had given us 38 ounces of blueberries, for a comparative retail value of $9.50. This is certainly a substantial harvest from just two bushes, and there will be more to harvest as the season finishes up in July.
As I write, I'm eagerly awaiting the first tomato and cucumber. High gardening season will be here for sure!
