Everyone thinks they're a born farmer until their first horn worm.

wow what a coincidence so do these little baby moths

Don't get me wrong, growing your own food is neat, but you're going to trade the money you'd spend on veggies for time and effort trying to keep even a small back porch of plants alive. You have to be fastidious about everything from soil maintenance/security (from pests) to pesticide application.
