Well, actually, it's a box that John built and it is beautiful. We got a wild hair last Sunday to start a new project, a long narrow garden box alongside our driveway. We had toyed with the idea for several years but other priorities seemed to get in the way. Not this Sunday, Sunday was the perfect day to head over to the local hardware store and dive deep into unexpected debt.
Now that our children no longer have a college fund, we have (built in a record 5.5. hours) the most beautiful 3-tiered garden box to tend and harvest throughout the year.
Like I said, gorgeous!
Here is the final bill:
Lumber: $260
Lattice: $30
Brackets: $60
Soil: $65
Plants: $30
Seeds: $12
Peet Pots: $8
Chicken Wire: $15
MORE Plants: $35
Decorative Flowers: $11
GRAND TOTAL: $526
I was not in any way prepared for the astronomical pricetag of this project. And in discussing this with my hunky handy man, I brought up the topic of savings in our organic harvesting. And so, he suggested we keep a running log of all the money we make back on fruits and vegetables we can eat from our own garden. Stay posted as I attempt to recoup $526 in vegetables...
