With the economy causing everything from gas to groceries to sky rocket in price; it only makes sense to have your own garden.
Growing your own tomatoes is not only easy but VERY inexpensive. If you buy tomatoes at your local grocery store you're gonna pay up to $3.50 per lb (which is approx 2 tomatoes) out of season and maybe $1.99 in season. With a pack of tomato seeds costing approx $3.00 (and a little TLC) you can get tons of tomatoes.
NOW IT GETS BETTER.
Take an average sized Tomato like "Penny's Early Girl". The plant can easily produce 50 Tomatoes and they average about 1/4 pound each. That's 12 pounds of Juicy, Delicious, Tasty Tomatoes loaded with Nutrients. ALL OF THAT FROM ONE LITTLE SEED.
It cost you less than $.02 Cents per pound. Now that's one cool way to beat the rising costs of Groceries.
I usually plant about 30 plants each spring and I not only get mouth watering vine ripened tomatoes all summer long... I also have enough to make homemade spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc and put it in freezer bags and have very inexpensive meals to eat all winter long.
There is no satisfaction like growing your own big juicy tomatoes so visit my website and let's get started!
