Growing Tomatoes and Saving $$$ in Tough Economic Times

Hi I’m Penny of PennysTomatoes.com and with the economy causing everything from gas to groceries to sky rocket in price; it only makes sense to have your own garden. CNN News mentioned on 5/1/08 what a great value seeds are in tough times.

 

AND growing your own tomatoes is not only easy but VERY inexpensive.  If you buy tomatoes at your local grocery store you will pay up to $3.50 per lb (which is approx 2 tomatoes) out of season, and maybe $.99 Cents in season..   With a pack of tomato seeds costing approx $3.00 (and of course a little TLC) you can get tons of tomatoes.

Let's do the Math.

My Bodacious Beefsteak Tomatoes can weigh up to 2 pounds. A single seed costs $.20 Cents. That's $.10 Cents per pound

.

NOW IT GETS BETTER.

Take an average sized Tomato like "Penny's Early Girl".  You can easily produce 50 Tomatoes from one plant.  They average about 1/4 pound each. That's 12 pounds of Juicy, Delicious, Tasty Tomatoes loaded with Nutrients.  ALL OF THAT FROM ONE LITTLE SEED.

And the best thing of all?  It cost you less than $.02 Cents per pound.  Now that's one cool way to beat the rising costs of Groceries.

I usually plant about 10 plants each spring for my own Tomatoe Plants.  I not only get mouth watering vine ripened tomatoes all summer long...   I also have enough to make homemade spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc and put it in freezer bags to eat all winter long.

 

At PennysTomatoes.com you’ll not only find a great assortment of different kinds of tomato seeds but you’ll also find a wealth of information on how to grow them.

 

There is no satisfaction like growing your own mouth watering tomatoes so visit my website and let’s get stared!
