when are you sowing your garden this year?

There is nothing cathartic about maintaining groceries. Also, the upfront cost of the garden should be a first year thing. You're still most likely right though.

This is the cost for the raised beds (4x8) and top soil (14 cu ft per bed).



Since most grown vegetables are one time harvest, I cannot fathom that we would grow even $100 grocery store worth of vegetables.

Raised beds are a one-time cost. I dunno about the soil, if we could reuse or if we did compost and next year would be 0 cost for year (assuming we account all cost for year only, zeroing out at end of planting year).

Either way, I would likely have to have what, 2-3 years to even break even?

I'd have to ask my wife to project min/max yield to determine where our break even point is, but most vegetables are pretty dang cheap.
