how big you have to have to break even.


The taste of a ripe tomato from your yard is worth more than money,
it
is a mouth treat you can't put a value on. And being able to go to
the
garden for a salad, lettuce, spinach leaves, and maybe sweet pea pods
is a delight. You know what has been sprayed or not sprayed on it,
and
the freshness there is no substitute for.
We buy plants for tomatoes, and seed for the rest. We're always way
ahead of the game.

Yea, I didn't mention last years tomatoes and lettuce were the bomb. People
were asking me for tomatoes and lettuce last year. And my eggplants made me
some great Thai curry vegetables. I got a lot more work to go this year.
And a whole lot of digging.

Thanks,
