I remain unconvinced that gardening saves me money. By the time I buy seed, soil amendments, plants, replacement hoses and sprinklers that wore out, and pay the outlandish water bill, I really question whether I have saved any money. Furthermore, I now have to hire help from time to time to get the bigger jobs done. But everything tastes better out of my own garden, so I keep doing it.

lol. Same here! My garage is full of gadgets and gizmos I thought I needed: cold frames, squash arches, organic fertilizers galore, to name a few. All expensive! I buy yards of soil every year (where does the soil go?!). Soil to start my seeds in. Seeds are the very least of my expenses, and some packets last me a lifetime. In winter time, when I am not spending money, and eating for free, it seems like I've saved some money.
That's a good point!
