Phase 2: they discover it's a pain and stop doing it.
My grandfather was an avid gardener and would always say "gardening is the best way to overpay for your tomatoes". It can be a fun hobby but there's no way you're growing food cheaper than farmers.
Edit: if you think you can produce food more efficiently than professional farmers, you should quit your job and do it professionally yourself! We can all use some cheaper food!
Very true. However, homegrown and picked when ripe tastes so much better. Plus, you can control the amount of plant food/nutrients in the soil and make it a better nutritional choice.
