Good for you! Were do you live? It sounds like you are still in a colder part of the world.
We are very fortunate here in Georgia to be able to garden year round (greens and cold weather plants in the fall and winter).
Anyway, I started my tomatoes from seed on Feb 1 and had them in the ground April 15. We have lots of tomatoes already but none red yet.
For the $4 per pound tomatoes cost here I will probably yield several hundred pounds this summer. It almost seems foolish to NOT grow at least some of your own food.
The size of the operation you mentioned I suspect you could even sell some surplus and make at least enough to recoup your investment and end up with FREE fresh food.

I put my tomatoes out on what is usually the very ALST day of frost possibility.
It snowed the next day. I lost 4 different heritage strains that day. i hope that soneone else has some, or they are forever gone.
DAYUM!
