I saw this book title and immediately added it to my wish list.  It is supposed to be a funny book about how much we spend to create "homegrown" tomatoes.  Kind of like the fisherman who spends thousands of dollars on boat, license, tackle, bait, and so on - just to catch a fish.

Today we prepared two whiskey half barrels to receive tomato plants, as soon as our schedule allows.  The soil in our garden plot has developed some death-to-tomatoes fungus, and after several years of gardening next to the woods, I was tired of fighting the rabbits, deer, and armadillos.

Scott had the nifty idea to set the barrels on top of the two round green plastic covers for our graywater tank.  It required creative use of cinder blocks, lumber, and bricks, but we did it.  I also bought too much potting soil, but Scott forgave me.  I used some of the leftover dirt to upgrade the front flower beds and planted a wide variety of seeds in them.

I won't tell you how much all this has cost.  So far, it's still less than $64 million.
