That's okay Lynda; I take no offense..  I garden because I enjoy gardening 
and because I prefer the taste of fresh vegetables that I grew.  It actually 
is 'much' cheaper to buy thwem already processed from the grocery story, not 
just buying seed to plant.  But, I tend to buy the least processes as 
possible, and grow what I can where I am ,now.  How many tomatoes did you 
pick from your backyard on  on Chritmas Eve <G> ?
