Grow-vs-buy savings
A seed packet or seedling costs around $5 and should give you roughly 5kg after about 3 months in typical home conditions. At today's price of $7.97/kg that's $39.85 worth at the supermarket.
Before you buy: Grown as annual but technically a short-lived perennial. Indeterminate types need staking; determinate (bush) types don't. Save seeds from heirlooms to replant.
Realistic yield: One plant 3-10 kg over summer. Cherry types often out-yield large-fruited types.
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
