Change "wine making" to "gardening".

I grow everything from seed and I enjoy working in the garden. In the spring there are weeks of work to be done. During the growing season there's daily maintenance, maybe minutes, maybe hours. Then there's the harvest which can last days for some things or weeks for others. And now we have to do something with the harvest, use it or preserve it. I can easily spend eight hours a day canning. And at the end of the season there's clean-up and maybe amending soil for the next year. My half pint jars of catsup - and it's really good catsup! - with the price of labor have got to be approaching $200-$300 a jar...maybe more!


Putting a dollar price (including labor!) on my fun sounds like a bureaucratic diktat. No offense intended. I just look at cost of materials and have fun.
