1000 Dollar Experiment

We are joyfully creating our lives. We welcome prosperity, health, beauty, love, friendship, and all wonderful, positive things. Sometimes we play the Prosperity Game. Google it, sweetheart.

My first day, $1,000

I can spend all this with hardly any thought whatsoever. . .

* 10 foxglove plants, some tomatoes, and other misc. periennials and/or bushes from Burpee and my local garden store for $200
* The Honda mini-tiller, which is about $220 from Sears, last time I checked.
* I'd like to hire good looking gardening help -- someone I can ask to do my bidding, whose working for me. Let's say I pay him $20 per hour, for six hours, so $120.
* I'll need to mulch these plants. Another $50 to have a few cubic yards delivered in Indianapolis.
* I'm all out of sequence, but I'll need a little spaghnum peat moss and compost manure, too. That's probably only $20, but I'm thankful I'll have my garden man to help me carry it. . . Heh, heh
* I also discovered a new love for garden statuary. I'll get a wee gnome with a painted red hat and a little lantern that lights up via solar power for $60, and some Indian goddess in stone for another $60. Again, could you move that for me garden man? Or maybe it would look better over there? Hmmmm....
* With $270 left, that'll be just enough to buy a hammock and hammock stand from Target, and maybe a bottle of tequila and margarita mix. I'm tired after all this gardening....
