Grow-vs-buy savings

A seed packet or seedling punnet costs around $5 and should give you roughly 0.5kg after about 4 months in typical home conditions. At today's price of $7.41/kg that's $3.71 worth at the supermarket.

Before you buy: Seedling punnet ($5-7) is easier for small gardens; seed packet ($4-5) sows a whole bed. Cool-season crop — bolts in hot weather.

Realistic yield: One main head (~300-500 g) then smaller side shoots for several weeks (~200 g extra).

Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
