Not an article - a book. There $64 Tomato. It's a genuinely good book.

When I owned property I had a victory garden. I grew 3-4 different tomatoes every year. Now I live in a three story walk up in the middle of a city. I don’t get direct sunlight now

Also, ever come across this

In my experience, it's not any cheaper that shopping at a produce store, but the quality of the produce that you can get is much higher from your garden. I have kids, and I think it's very useful for them to understand where their food comes from.

You can do gardening on the cheap, but it takes a lot of time and effort. Ie going on Craigslist and Freecycle for cheap containers and pallets. Maybe even manure if you're in a more rural location.

Gardening is very worthwhile and not just for the food. Start small and yes it can be very rewarding and frugal. The first year less so as you buy any equipment or containers you need, but look around the web there are tons of resources for new backyard gardeners. I like to dabble and grow small things in containers which is fun and rewarding. Herbs give you the best bang for the buck, easy and small amount of effort required and buying the leaves at the store is hugely expensive (1 small container of basil leaves $2.99 vs 1 large basil plant at Trader Joes for $2.99). Fresh herbs make such a difference when cooking.

However.... a great and humorous look at the other side is The $64 Tomato: How One Many Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden. http://www.amazon.com/The-64-Tomato-Fortune-Existential/dp/1565125576

Seems like one of those things where you'll spend more money in the learning that you would in just buying. Read this.

Yikes, that's because I seriously misremembered the name. It's "The $64 Tomato." Sorry about that!

Wow. All Hail the $64 Tomato http://www.amazon.com/64-Tomato-Fortune-Endured-Existential/dp/1565125576 Thanks for the update and good luck with your next version.

Luckily I've got a bunch of that build list already so maybe not as expensive as your setup for me.

Depends on skill, free time, climate,crops. It's not for everyone, though.
