February I had $58.75 to spend on my gardening supplies. I had a total of three trips to garden centers etc and spent $45.64 which broke down as follows:
The main budget breaker for March will be making good trellising for the upcoming season and bark for mulch & walkways! Good job March looks to be a great budget month! After tallying up the figures from February the March budget looks like:
Feb garden credit = $13.11
Feb grocery 1/2* = $142.05
Feb Harvest tally = $18.92
Grand total for March = $174.08
Wow! That seems a lot!!! BUT, the trellising supplies plus bark chips is really going to set me back this month so I definitely need that budget!!! Plus this was the whole point in having the budget! Finding other areas to cut back in, so that I could finally spend some money on the garden!!! Now the bigger challenge will be letting myself USE that budget for March!
