It's probably not something I would do because I enjoy it; it's just to save money. But, I really do need to save money on groceries, so if this will save me money in the long term, I'm willing to do it. About how many minutes per day does tending to your garden take you?

Is that a linux name?

probably 15 to 20 minutes. Some days maybe more, some days I just go out for a minute or two.

Also, it may take some time to figure out what does well in your climate/microclimate in addition to what is prone to disease in your area. It is extremely likely that you may have some crops completely fail in the beginning, but try not to get discouraged. Take note of what did well and what you think caused the problem. focus on getting what grows easily first and once you are doing that well begin to troubleshoot issues with crops that fail.

Great advice. I have 2 peach trees - one of them gets infested with bugs every year, and the fruit rots before it ripens, while the other one doesn't get a single worm because the variety naturally repels bugs with its bitter fuzz.
