I wonder what dating is like when you have so much money that you already have a garden. When I met my partner we both lived in shared houses.
You can grow a really nice garden on a balcony or in windows. Tomatoes, cucumber and chili's are great to start with and then just experiment
How big are your windows that you can grow tomatoes in them?
When I was in a house share the windowsill was barely 10cm deep. There was no balcony.

Just a random search for example. You can usually read on the seed bag if it's a variety that works
Yeah our windows didn't have anything like that much space on them
People who are actually rich don't have food gardens, they have flower gardens at best. A roommate of mine had a (very bad) garden when I lived with him, and my now-wife had a small herb garden in an apartment. You can definitely have food gardens in shared houses
I briefly stayed at a multi-millionaire's place. They did have a herb garden. Nice planters and automated watering systems. All provided and maintained by the groundskeeping company, of course. I sincerely doubt they ever planted anything, they just grabbed herbs when they needed them and instructed people what herbs they wanted.
I imagine richer people might similarly have food gardens maintained by waitstaff. Maybe not around their primary residence, but what if the desire to cosplay as or claim to be a farmer or plantation owner strikes them?
That's fair. A bit of a different scale and intent than I was thinking, though.
Unless you're from very rural area - then you should kinda have the garden by default.
