Grocery prices aren't going down — and if you're still paying retail for tomatoes, lettuce, and zucchini while fuel surcharges quietly stack up on your receipt, this episode is your sign to stop waiting.

In this episode, we break down exactly how to start a beginner vegetable garden in spring 2026 to cut your summer produce costs by up to 60%. We're talking real numbers: a $3–$5 seed packet that can yield 40–80 lbs of tomatoes, the five crops every beginner should start right now, and the specific mistakes that kill most gardens before July — so you don't have to make them.
