So I've already told you I cheated and bought some 'factory' grown plants from one of the mega stores. ¬†Now it's time to calculate the total costs so far this year that have gone into the garden.

¬†

Mint	$3.69	¬†	Parsnips	$1.59
Basil	$3.69	¬†	Carrots	$0.97
Cilantro	$3.69	¬†	Squash	$1.69
Jalapeno Pepper	$3.69	¬†	Zucchini	$1.69
Thyme	$3.69	¬†	Cucumber	$1.69
Oregano	$3.69	¬†	Green Onion	$1.89
Parsley	$3.69	¬†	Corn	$2.87
Dill	$4.69	¬†	Bush Bean	$0.99
¬†	¬†	¬†	Shell Peas	$1.69
¬†	¬†	¬†	Lettuce 1	$1.69
¬†	¬†	¬†	LIttle Gem Lettuce	$2.19
¬†	¬†	¬†	Spinach	$2.99
¬†	¬†	¬†	Beets	$1.69
¬†	¬†	¬†	Bell Pepper	$1.69
¬†	¬†	¬†	Edamame	$2.99
¬†	¬†	¬†	Radish	$1.89
Total	$26.21	¬†	¬†	$28.51

¬†

So for the plants and seed alone we are at ¬†$54.72. ¬†Add the pellet tray I bought for $9.99 to start the seed inside we come to a total of $64.71. ¬†Consider that we've spent close to $100 for vegetables and herbs so far this year. ¬†The biggest problem with the experiment this year is I'm so far behind. ¬†It's already mid-june and I still don't have everything in the ground. ¬†I'm beginning to wonder if the entire effort is worth it so far for the year. ¬†

¬†

Anyway, to sum up for now:

¬†

Total spent to date: $64.71

Time spent: ~4 hours

Saving to date: $0
