Well said. I didn’t originally start a vegetable garden for economic reasons, but because I knew that fresh crops taste way better than anything I could buy at the grocery store. Over the years though, I’ve come to rely on my own garden and my gardening skill more and more, as both a money saver and an enjoyable activity. Given a choice, I would always rather rely on my own skills than have to rely on someone else’s, and I’d much rather know that I have some skills now than hope to have time to develop them later.
Munching on homegrown cherry tomatoes as we speak. Yumm. Just like candy.
