Tools, equipment, water, fertilizer, rabbit killing, and most importantly your time. And then you give away about 80% of the vegetables. I bet the home grown tomatoes that you actually end up eating are like $2 each!

I doubt they cost much since they are only fractions of a penny to begin with. Most of my tools used aren't garden specific and while I do give some veggies away, I also have many jars of vegetables canned that are used year round. In the end, I'm sure I'm well ahead. As for time, that's an individual call, and if your gardening is taking away from time that could be spent earning money: drop the hoe and get to work
