If they did everyone would do them.


If they had the space, the time, the soil and water and the skill.

Gardens are for fun or for lack
of choice to anyone not in the farming business. And there's the
point where the profit is made - There are people in the farmers
market business who do indeed garden for a profit. Some of them for
a very small profit because they are in it as a profitable hobby.


True, you aren't going to be paying yourself a high hourly rate.
