To make the list, the hobby had to be relatively inexpensive to get going and sustain. This may mean just a few small fees here and there OR a higher cost upfront, then you can pretty much enjoy the hobby for free for a considerable period of time.

These vegetables were chosen based on our own experience. To make the list the vegetable had to (1) be easy to grow; (2) have the ability to grow in the ground or in pots for outdoor or indoor gardening; (3) produce a high yield compared to the initial investment, therefore making it a good way to save money.
