did i just drop a grand on wood for veggies i could buy for $10?

Built some planter boxes this weekend and, wow, redwood is not cheap. My wallet is still recovering from the $1000 hit. But there’s something about measuring, sawing, and piecing it all together that makes it feel worth it. I love picking out the best spot in the yard for sunlight. I always mix in a little compost with the soil—my tomatoes go wild for it. Sure, I could buy these veggies at the store for way less, but nothing beats grabbing a fresh pepper right outside my door. If you’re thinking about starting a garden, don’t stress about the cost. The peace and pride you get from growing your own food is priceless. #gardening #diyprojects #urbanfarming
