I grow tomatoes in my balcony. Constructive and fulfilling activity, love it.

But I canโ€™t imagine eating like 15 tomatoes per year lol

And thatโ€™s ok! Nobody expects to live off of a small garden, nor is it feasible for everybody to grow everything they eat.

It provides many benefits already, such as being a fulfilling activity as you said. It also cuts down on food waste since you can harvest when you eat it and leave it on the plant for a bit longer otherwise. It also reduces trips to the grocery store and reduces emissions of importing food over long distances. Finally, itโ€™s much cheaper if you grow from seed and upcycle plastic containers for planting. Especially if you grow expensive crops like fresh herbs.
