I had a container garden on my 5th floor apartment porch. I can’t say that space was cheap, but as long as you have some sunny outdoor space, you can grow stuff.
Some caterpillars infested my parsley and I decided the world needs butterflies more than I needed herbs, so I fed my garden to them and at the end was buying bunches of organic parsley to feed to them. Raisng caterpillars to butterflies was a real emotional and fulfilling experience, and the two that didn’t make it will always be in my heart.
Being able to afford a place with a garden would be pretty cool…
You could also look into community gardens. Not as convenient or simple as a home garden, but still pretty nice.
