Just wondering what the budget figures are for some folks for seasonal plantings? You know, flowers, shrubs, vegetable seedlings, potting soil, window boxes plantings, pond plants, peat moss, and all the rest.

Here in Massachusetts our growing season is rather short compared to the folks in southern states. And many of us do not have the space or climate to winter over some of the more temperature sensitive plants.

At our place we generally spend around $800.00 for our plantings and flowers. Also we have two very small Koi ponds and water plants can be expensive.
