What did you do in the garden today?

[Paz]

Yes. Depending on the variety of carrots you grew, they are either delicious and a good texture, or delicious and kinda like baby food.

The only way I can get my DS to eat carrots is by boiling them or canning them.

We pickle carrots. Kinda like sweet and spicy. I have no idea how my father does that.

That's for 8 acres of open country - no town, no village, no public services except electric and internet - and property with the garden, barn, henhouse, orchard, workshop, house, corral, hayfield and fenced pastures.

Ours is like 2700/yr. 0.31 acres, in town (I can walk to the store). Detached garage where my laundry is. But we bought at a good time. Neighbors is 3x that almost now maybe even more, I haven't looked recently. It's brutal.

I usually pickle at least a few jars of hot carrots every year. I'll be buying carrots for that this year. DS ate most of our harvest this year. I didn't plant nearly as many as the previous years.

Yesterday I picked some black raspberries. Starting to ripen. Every other day now. I have a planted patch and scattered bird planted plants. 2 of my larger tomato plants have some suckers I need to remove. Waiting for them to get larger as I want to root them. Mortage lifter pink. I am a fan of pink tomatoes.

I pay less than 200 in property tax a year for my 15 acres. Only permit required in my county (if you live outside city limits) is a permit for a septic tank.

The year we bought our house, Michigan passed a law that caps how much property taxes can rise each year. So the assessed value creeps up, and the market value has shot up. Land is red hot here.

When the property is sold, the assessed value resets to the value of what the selling price was. So we pay about $3600-3800 a year (broken into two payments, February and September). The new neighbors who moved in a couple years ago are paying tax on the full $510K that they paid for their property (3ish acres). We're paying on roughly 1/2 of that on 25 acres.

They do have a MUCH bigger and nicer house, but that's ok. We like ours.

Ours are. almost 850$ a month and always increasing

Oh, my! A month?! Ours are about that annually. It's why we're pretty much stuck here.

A month! I suppose if you have a lot of property that would make sense to a point. But in my neck of the financial woods that seems obscene.

I have a small 1.25 acre property out in the county with a 1500 sq. ft. rancher and the property taxes are currently about $2000.00/yr. But, with no kids in school anymore (school taxes are part of the local income taxes anyway), and no services provided, and owning everything outright the property taxes are really, in my view, just a reminder that we really are just renting.

You’ve got quite the garden for a .31 acre piece of property.
