I am as old or older than you and used to garden but found store bought was less expensive than a garden and canning enough to last all winter. I think it was Jimmuh Cartuh who told us to plant a garden to feed ourselves back in the 70’s.
Of course I will plant tomatoes. Can’t get good tomatoes in the store.
Tomatoes and corn that’s all we plant.
I love fresh corn, put the water on to boil when send the kids out to pick the corn. By the time the water is at the proper temp the kids are back, the corn is cleaned and ready to dropp in. A few minuteas in the water then serve wi8th butter and salt. Yum!
Fresh tomatoes would be a wonderful taste.
The last store bought ones here, were tough and tasteless.
I am glad you can still grow them.
And wishing that I could also.
