[quote=Anonymous]I grew tomatoes and bell peppers one year. When it was all said and done I realized I spent about $3 per tomato / bell pepper. Which is about 3 times the cost of either at the grocery store. I grew each plant in 5 gallon buckets. Bought potting soil and fertilizer. Bought lots of other stuff. Had to water the plants at least every other day, so I couldn't go on vacation all summer. I bought a timer for the sprinkler so the sprinkler would come on by itself when we went out of town for a few days. When we got back we discovered that the hose busted open, so there was a huge puddle / quasi swamp in the yard. And then just as the tomatoes would start pinking up, critters would come along and take a bit out of them. The positive thing is that we learned home grown tomatoes really taste so much better than store bought tomatoes. [/quote]
