I forage. As a gardener, I quickly found many things I get paid to "weed" out, are also edible. Some of the most villainised, are some of the best! Case in point, nettles – probably the healthiest plant you can add to your diet.
Garlic is my crop that makes me feel SUPER efficient. I harvest the scapes and harvest the bulbs. Some of the bulbs are used for replanting, so no money spent on that. I harvest everything in early August and don't replant until late October. That gives me almost 90 days to squeeze in a crop of carrots or something. Every year, I can get so much out of one single bed. It makes me feel like a superhero. 😅
