I really loved this book, it was quite funny. The author still has a lot to learn about gardening on a budget though. I guess with a doctor wife it is okay to spend $10,000 annually on the garden but for the rest of America that is just ridiculous. That was really the only thing that irritated me, the over spending when it really wasn't necessary. As for the title I think you will see that his math isn't so great, the tomatoes really cost him alot less than calculated, he includes the price of trimmers of the shrubs adjacent to the tomato plots in their cost, hmmmm? Anyway's, it is a good read if your an avid gardener like myself, just suspend disbelief if you can and enjoy his follies, and the lengths he goes to for his crops.
