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
