Nowhere near to self-sufficiency but usually manage to keep ourselves in greenstuff through the year with peas/beans and other things in the summer. It does take time, as you say, but also space and luck - what I've grown this year would hardly make a couple of meals although the slugs have enjoyed it ....

Time, as always, is a big problem.
Anyone tried being self-sufficient? |
