Sure thing, let’s break it down into a clear, step‑by‑step plan. First, list every expected cost: soil, seeds, tools, water system, and a small buffer for unexpected expenses. Next, assign each item a dollar amount and set a timeline for when each purchase will happen. Create a spreadsheet with columns for category, item, vendor, price, payment date, and payment method. For the online safety part, set up a shared Google Sheet or Airtable that everyone can access but only with read‑write permissions for a designated treasurer. Enable two‑factor authentication on that account, use a strong, unique password, and schedule a monthly review of who has access. Finally, set a weekly meeting to review the budget, check off completed payments, and adjust any overages. That way we stay organized, keep costs in line, and protect our community data.

Sounds good, just keep the spreadsheet up‑to‑date and double‑check the 2‑factor reminders. We’ll stay on track and secure.
