In the end, I like to think of our expenditures as our grocery bill, as well as cash paid for our entertainment. With fewer rabbits and our chicken feed paid for with egg money, it seems like the only real expenditures now are mulching hay and seeds.
The financial side of gardening

One thing we haven't done super well is keep track of how much our gardening hobby is costing us. We're finally starting to make a profit selling our eggs for $4/dozen at New College. It's pretty much paying for our feed at this point, but not much else. We've had a few offers for our extra produce, but so far we don't have enough, let alone extras.
What's happening now?
--- Finally settled in to our new house (mostly)
--- Taking care of all our animals! Three chickens, a rabbit, a dozen finches, and two Alaskan huskies.
--- Working on turning our dirt-yard into something respectable
Who are we?
This blog follows the adventures of Taylor and Tine as they craft, cook, and turn their house into a home.
