The $64 Tomato by Alexander, William
How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden
A wry, first-person memoir about a home gardener whose efforts to grow the perfect tomato—through soil amendments, heirloom seeds, greenhouses, grafting, and a parade of DIY fixes—escalate into an expensive, obsessive, and wildly instructive project. Humorous and reflective, it chronicles mishaps and hard-won techniques, tallies the surprising costs, and explores the patience, community, and quiet satisfactions that come from hands-on cultivation and loving a hobby a little too much.
