I have been doing it for a long time. I was a little tot when my dad gave me four tomato plants of my very own. I still remember the harvest. I really think the secret is to feed the soil. Of course they need water and sunlight but the secret is in the soil. Have you investigated BTE gardening? If you ignore the religious overtones it works very well.
For me the nicest "garden" I ever saw was a friends place - they lived next to a creek in Brisbane and had let the natural surviving small piece of rainforest take over - complete with bush turkeys. It was beautiful. Sorry very much a nature girl and have not had a lot of opportunity to garden vegetables. My unit had a balcony but it got the afternoon sun and even cacti put out there would shrivel and die
I wouldn't bother with a garden if I didn't have bid enough place for one. But my goodness....so much land and y'all live practically on top of one another. I never liked city life. - - - Updated - - - I wouldn't bother with a garden if I didn't have bid enough place for one.

The only problem is that when CO2 atmospheric concentrations exceed 4 ppm and keep increasing, worse and worse global warming takes place and the fruit trees with their elevated vitamin content and life in general starts to die off.
