    I dont know why you care about point #3 the way I look at gardening is you should plant the stuff that is most expensive in the grocery store, but doesn’t require a lot of space to grow.

    For me that’s things like lettuce, tomatoes, certain peppers, chives and other pricey fresh herbs. Basically anything that doesn’t ship and sit well. I would never grow potatoes because I can get like 15 lbs of them for five dollars when they are on sale.

    If you actually have space one of the best crops is winter squash in my opinion. They grow like crazy and can produce massive yields. They are calorie dense compared to other vegetables and squashes like Hubbard can sit in a cellar for practically the whole winter before going bad. But those things will spread across your entire lawn lol.
