Home Gardening Economics part 2

I noticed some of the prices of produce at the shops today, and have had a look at what I have picked from my garden. Hopefully this will inspire you to grow your own if you don't already.

Tomatoes at $3.99kg - I have picked about 3.13kg this season, worth $12.50. The seedlings were free, but I had to buy cow manure, seasol and fertiliser to look after them.
Zucchini are also $3.99kg - I have picked about 5 kg so far, worth $19.95. I don't remember how much the seedlings cost, would have only been a few dollars. Once again, planted in cow manure and have used seasol and fertilers on them.
