Gardening is a hobby. You don’t do it to get cheap fruits and veggies.
The results speak for themselves though, and you absolutely cannot beat a tomato right off the vine.
Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.

Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You’ll fucking cum.
Soybeans. You’ve been growing soybeans.
I think the person knows their own garden better than some rando lol
Edamame is soybeans.
And if ever there is a day you can’t buy tomatoes for whatever reason, you will have them.
we actually switched to gerkins. so, if theres ever a day where we can’t buy pickels, we’d have them, but not the pickling ingredients as we can’t grow our own vinegar
You can! You just need a vinegar mother! I’ve not done it myself, but the way I understand it you can transfer the mother once the vinegar is to your liking, then on to the next one.
I had a look and its like a red liver looking thing? I’m not sure I’m prepared for this
Maybe it would be a good idea to collaborate with neighbours or friends or such, economies of scale and whatnot.
They also taste way better than store-bought ones.
Also one of the easier garden vegetables (yes, vegetable, fight me) to plant. Great for beginners.
It’s a fruit, you donut.
Seriously. They barely taste like the same ‘fruit’.
That’s definitely from someone who never tasted a home grown tomatoe or waters theirs a lot too often, you can buy tomatoes but they taste like literal shit in comparison! ;)
Also you can leave them on the plant a lot longer than they last in the fridge.
So you save a lot more, since you aren’t buying tomatoes every week. You just pick them as you need them.
