Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.
we actually switched to gerkins. so, if theres ever a day where we can't buy pickels, we'd have them, but not the pickling ingredients as we can't grow our own vinegar
You can! You just need a vinegar mother! I've not done it myself, but the way I understand it you can transfer the mother once the vinegar is to your liking, then on to the next one.
