[quote=Anonymous]Herbs and spices are so over priced at the grocery store that you can grow them (very easily) for next to nothing - rosemary, basil, oregano, chives, etc. (just avoid mint!). You'll definitely get the most bang for your buck and with very little effort. Veggies and fruits are harder to grow - deer, rabbit, and squirrels have destroyed our garden. Some fruits require pollinators, some need at least 3 growing seasons to estabalish (blueberries, fruit trees), and the seasons aren't quite right here - If I remember correctly, the last frost last year was super late which made for a late start to growing season. You can get your soil tested. It's $5 and will come back with a report of what you need to do for it to be ideal pH, nutrients, and the like. [/quote]
