I think food gardening depends a lot on luck. With the right combination of plant+spot+local (micro)climate+how often you water your plants, you can almost accidentally end up with a huge amount of whatever you’re growing. And then you can invest all the money you saved on food into one (1) trendy stock, cryptocoin etc. and make cents out of dollars.

If your garden costs hundreds of dollars to set up, you’re definitely doing it wrong lol Gardening can be nearly free with the right know-how. Admittedly my strawberry plant only made 2 strawberries so that part was nearly accurate lol

No no, even if you manage to grow nothing but dust in year one, a depressed tomato in year two, three measly leaves of parsley in year three - each bit you managed to grow yourself not only tastes better but also unlocks better veggies in the next year! This is a learning curve that is absolutely worth it, please don’t give up.

how dare you personally attack me like this? And it wasn’t just strawberries… I planted a raspberry bush too.

Strawberries are a bad example. Those guys want to live as long as your soil is good. I get around 5 bowls per year and growing so maybe like 50-100 strawbs and yes, half of them go to squirrels.
