Gardening is not a cheap hobby...but...so worth it!!! I support the local farm stands in season...a whole lot easier.

I'm trying to move to perennial plants and saving seeds for the other stuff. Fortunately we have a good dollar store here that sells seeds six packs for a dollar! I still have a bit of old hay in the barn for mulch. Most of my expense is the work. These days it cost more than it use to.

I'm too lazy to do that much labor...besides...space is limited around the condo. The back yard is out...north side...with a huge hill right behind it. No front yard...limited space for containers on the deck.

Getting too old and slow Ken, I don't think Steve wants my black thumb anywhere near his garden.

We have a little dog that chases rabbits out of the county. After one rabbit I don't think she'll come back.
