We only have a few tomato plants, but invariably we end up with a ridiculous amount that we can, freeze and dehydrate. In the past our basil, which my wife makes into pesto, was the only food we grew in the garden that makes economic sense. Pesto in the store is expensive. By time our tomatoes and peppers are ripe, they have been cheap and abundant at the grocery store. Maybe this year vegetables won't be so cheap.
As you might be able to see in the photo, we repurposed old dog fence and pole stakes to make our tomato cages. We actually have a bunch of tomato cages but my wife confiscated them for her dahlias and other tall flowers.
In the far back we have a rhubarb plant, it has come up every year for the forty plus years we've owned our house. I read on one website that some rhubarb plants date back to the Eisenhower administration.
