We’re doing a little gardening this year. Here on the northern coast of California, it’s not the best gardening area for some items, but we though it might be nice to try. Tomatoes (the littler ones seem to do better), lettuce, cucumbers, and squash. In black pots, container gardening. It was a mini-investment: with the dirt it was $34. We’ll be able to use the dirt next year, especially since we have compost. I am hoping that we get at least $34 dollars of produce this year. That won’t be too hard, with the price of lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers what it is. I do have to admit that My Guy has done all of it so far, while I was out of town. I told him I’d pay half into it, so I can’t yelp about the dirt cost.

The gas and electric bill was down again, to $122.48. Our changes are making a difference. Big headache today, but if it calms down, some garage saling.
