  • @OohOkayKay@beige.party Honestly, I'm not even tracking it. I did some major changes this year, but most of the expensive items should last for multiple years, like the deer fence and the irrigation system.

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party I have gone the way of silk flowers for outside decor and solar lights .. only thing is too have a couple of hanging baskets for the bees of the real ones .. I either leave out year round or take and wash and store for next year's. They can last about 3-4 yrs. depending on care .. Have been too sick and the flowers are all over the house ...

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party I marked "not keeping track so my partner doesn't find out" but it is my partner not keeping track and me not finding out.

  • @OohOkayKay@beige.party I really don't know, mostly it depends on when & how smoothly an inheritance process & connectedly home repairs go. If the inheritance gets usable for my planned projects by the end of August, including home repairs, then it may well top $1,000 but if they don't start until November then it'll almost certainly stay in the $250-300 range & then next year be around $1200-1500.

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party the correct answer is โ€œhow big is your bank account?โ€

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party I expect I'm skewing the results because I had a large stump removed and we'll be putting in a small patio. My usual expenditure would be significantly less.

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party I am very tempted to go the euphemism route on this poll

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party this may be a big number year, but there are some years foundseed doesn't spend more than maybe $50 in a whole year, but then there was the year some beds got established and $800 went down that year. Last year was a $50 year. This year is gonna be higher, so I put it somewhere in the $300 range. But it may be more!

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party Guessing in the $200-250 range considering what I've already spent for plants (mainly herbs, natives & perennials) but the compost, mulch & soil conditioner will be the greater part. Much clay, many rocks, very slow process but the buzzing of pollinators is most rewarding.

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party if I count tools and labour it's off the scale, but on plants and supplies I spend zero, because I produce or trade everything. So โ‚ฌ0, but I garden a lot, or More than I want to publicly admit Didn't see either option ๐Ÿ™‚

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party I just blew $800 on stone blocks for edging and related aggregate, so I've focused on just plant material for my answer. :)

    @OohOkayKay@beige.party a LOT. I've already spent at least a 100 on soil and plants and I don't have a garden - only a balcony ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿค“
