[quote=Anonymous]It is time consuming because I have a big garden, and it’s a passion so I don’t mind spending the time. A long time ago when I was starting out a wise gardener advised me to focus on bang for the buck with fruits and vegetables. So I grow tomatoes, many kinds of pepper except bell peppers, many kinds of beans, okra, cucumbers and eggplant. I like the variety offered by seed catalogs and have figured out what works best for my yard. I also grow lots of herbs. I buy my dill and parsley because the swallotail caterpillars love the ones I plant. For fruits I grow blueberries, currants and figs. I had raspberries and blackberries but they were too unruly for my small space so I gave them away. I don’t grow anything I need to spray. I’m not sure I save any money since I do spend a fair amount on fertilizers, mulch and paying for labor. But it’s a very enjoyable pastime and we love having exotic produce all season for ourselves and to share. [/quote]
