I feel like I'm wasting my time and money if I grow something that I can get cheaply at the market.

But my biggest apostasy is I refuse to baby my crops. If something isn't easy to grow, I'm not spending a lot of time on it. Darwinian gardening.

That's quite true with bulk crops like corn, peas and beans. But truth be told I enjoy grocery shopping for tomatoes, peppers and greens in my backyard. Plus, when its your own produce you don't have to worry about salmonella poisoning from a dirty factory.

I don't baby my crops either unless they're very young and I don't want them flattened by a storm or expected frost, freeze or snow. But other than that (and bad insect infestations), they're on their own.
