My tomatoes this year cost nothing. A friend’s young granddaughter passed on some spare plants to me. I nurtured them indoors until the weather was good enough, then put them outside in an old bucket with soil and homegrown compost. Now, I enjoy popping out to pick part of my lunch. As for potatoes, end-of-year produce tends to sprout when forgotten. Shoved in the garden, this provides a free crop.
