No way.  There's nothing better than picking out my groceries online, press a button and they arrive at my door.

If you like gardening, and are willing to can and freeze it can be very rewarding.  But not me.

If you enjoy working for 50 cents an hour.  I'll occasionally plant trees & shrubs, but only follow RC's "stick it in the ground and see if it survives" rule.

That is kind of what I tried with my garden this year. And no, it didn't survive. The weeds on the other hand prospered like never before.
