    Ouch. This hits home as for the last 3 yrs my veg garden has cost me as much to sow as it would have if I had just bought the damn handful of veggies from the store. Might replace it with a koi pond because I hear meditation takes your mind off of hunger pangs.

      It took me weeks to finally grow like 4 strawberries. Was it worth it? No. Was it satisfying? Also no.

        sucks. my strawberries i started years ago are pretty dope. but the harvest is inconsistent every year, due to weather. some years I get a lot, some years I get virtually none.

      There’s a farm store near me. When stuff hits actual season, you can walk over there a buy a 25lb box of peppers for $15. The rest of the year it hot house, which is still damn good, but nowhere near as cheap.
