Plus, apartments have designated garden space. Plus, the UK have allotments if anyone wishes to join the waiting list for one. We grow potatoes in gorilla buckets, and get a good yield.
In the barn I rent, I have home brew. Forget the veg, drink the hops!
Chocolate cake is niceI had a half acre garden in the suburbs in the 1960s and 1970s.
Some apartments have small designated garden areas.... and most have no access to water. Not many. You're doing a let them eat cake routine.
