I understand that completely, not everyone has the means to put up a garden to become entirely self sufficient. My reply was to the OP when he
clarified the post about what one would need should they try this route.
In my haste to post my finding, I did fail to mention planting herbs as well. However, shouldnt eat up much room.
You should not use the hybrid seeds because you can't save seeds for next years crop. Although, some of the hybrids have great taste. So remember to
always plant some of your garden to harvest for the seeds.
Here's some online seed companies. Happy gardening.
Thank you for all the time you put in to get these estimates. You also provided some additional input that I find useful. I hope I may be able to
return the favor sometime. Cheers!
