Summary of William Alexander's The $64 Tomato

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We hired Bridget, even though she had never designed a vegetable garden, because she had made an impression on Anne as well. We wanted something more than the usual boring rectangular beds. We wanted a little pizzazz with our parsley. #2 We had a garden installed in our backyard, and we were excited to start growing vegetables. We wanted to have the garden completed by fall, because we wanted to get early potatoes, peas, and spinach planted the following March. #3 The designer, Bridget, arrived late and breathless. She unrolled a large, professional-looking blueprint onto the kitchen table. It was a lovely work of art, with carefully drawn circles for shrubs and flowers. But the content was not what I had envisioned. #4 Anne and I were excited about our new garden. We had signed a contract, made a down payment for the construction phase, and spent our idle minutes running our fingers over the smooth blueprints.
