Twenty Dollar Tomatoes

That is not how good they are. $20 is how much they costed me so far.

Built 4 garden boxes, got ripped up trex decking from neighbor for free(first trex batch was junk, Trex refunded money)

Even with free Boards, spent $300 on dirt and irrigation and plants, got about 24 tomatoes or $20 a tomato. Hard to compete with farmers. Got a late start this year. Gardener frient Matt is out of town, maby ill raccoon it up in his garden while he is away, get my cost down.

Nice on using the deck wood. We ended up using some old pallets lying around for our garden boxes. We actually planted the tomatoes in an old tire.
