Growing fruits and vegetables is a lot of hard work. I tend to concentrate on things where freshness and harvesting when ripe is important such as corn and tomatoes. You can buy nice carrots, peas, and apples. Growing your own is tough.

The cost varies so much I can't say. My wife and I spend very little on our 50 foot by 20 foot garden. We start our own tomato plants from seed in the house. I hand spade 1/3 of the garden with a fork every year for corn, beans, beets, etc. the rest of the garden is heavily mulched with leaves and planted to tomatoes, Superstake ones have great flavor when ripe, and squash.

Squash gives a huge quantity, zucchini is notorious for producing more than you can use. I prefer crocked necks and butternut. Rhubarb also produces well once it is established.

This all depends on where you live and what the climate is like. Go to a local store, pick up some seeds, and look at the back of the packet. Most of the information you can learn about growing that crop is on the back; much is learned with experience. Also, you shouldn't be too interested in huge quantities, otherwise you'll have more work and vegetable on your hands than you'll know what to do with.

I'm a soil scientist and from a soil's perspective; dig a pit in the soil and see how deep down you can go before you hit a rock pan, if there even is one down there. You can't grow deep rooted plants in shallow soils very well at all. Also, unless you have something bigger than a garden, I recommend tilling the soil either with a shovel by digging in deep 6-10 inches and loosening it or getting a hold of a rototiller if you have access to one or are willing to rent one.

As far as costs are concerned, this is up to you. You can buy seeds and grow them and planters and transplant them and have a nice garden for less than twenty bucks or you can buy plants that are already ready for transplanting in addition to getting fancy with other stuff and spend hundreds.

I live in the central valley of California ad my personal favorites are squash's, which yield a lot, so don't plant more too much, tomatoes, which also yield a lot so don't plant too many, and peppers.

If you happen to have any more specific questions feel free to ask.
