>>1105238You will dump a ton of time, effort, and money into gardening.
It can be worth it, but you need to stick with it for multiple seasons. Especially if you need to buy all the tools necessary to get started and/or plus up your local soil with loam or whatever.
Fuck subsistence farming though, that's all you'll ever do--subsist. Get by. You will never thrive, and all it takes is one bad year and you're destitute and starving.
