[quote=Anonymous]I have seen reports of studies that confirm growing your own is not a money saver for most people. Although my grandparents had a huge garden into their 80s, and it was how grandma made "pin money" (selling raspberries and sweet corn to people with cabins on a nearly lake) and fed her family through the depression. Production was large scale for them. My approach is to grow stuff that is either overpriced in my estimation in stores (e.g. beets and zucchini), tastes better homegrown (carrots), and/or produces a lot that I can preserve (tomatoes, mostly, I can those). Silly in my book to grown onions or potatoes or cabbage, those are cheap to buy. [/quote]
