Funny. I’m growing oregano, tomatoes, squash in pots, inside on cold days. Your limited free time probably costs more work hours than a bag of dirt and a few seeds but excuse yourself any way you want.
“excuse myself”? I don’t need an excuse for what I enjoy doing in my free time.
What you’re missing is that I don’t enjoy gardening, and I don’t pretend that I’m saving significant sums of money by doing it. I do enjoy what I do in my free time, so I chose to enjoy myself, rather than spend my time doing what feels like work.
I’m not talking actual monetary costs, I’m talking the actual expenditure of time.
You enjoy gardening, and that’s good for you. The time you spend growing your tomatoes isn’t time taken away from an activity you enjoy.
Not everyone is in a place where spending time doing an activity they don’t enjoy is worth avoiding paying for produce.
