We only get about 50 gardening seasons in a lifetime. It's better to find what works, what's fun, and what you want sooner rather than later. I think space and time are more limiting than dollars, so 5 crops or 15 or 45 is just saying: plant as much variety as you can to find at least some success your first season.
On the whole I'm not sure how allegorical the blog post intends to be.
- feast 4y agoYes, you nailed exactly why. I'm hoping the post can be allegorical for other things--I extrapolate this advice beyond just gardening--but it's also my exactly literal gardening advice--because, as you say, time and space are more limiting than dollars. Thank you!
