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!
The real reason to garden is for higher quality or because you simply enjoy the activity.
Had a brief glimpse of tomato heaven thanks to my neighbour’s backyard Eden. Now I’m back in hell, forking over my dollarydoos for tomatoes that taste like disappointment and microplastics.
