Grow-vs-buy savings
A seed packet or seedling costs around $5 and should give you roughly 8kg after about 2 months in typical home conditions. At today's price of $5.26/kg that's $42.08 worth at the supermarket.
Before you buy: One of the most productive plants in the garden — two plants usually feed a family. Pick young (15-20 cm) to keep plant producing.
Realistic yield: One plant 5-15 kg over summer if picked regularly. Stop picking and it stops producing.
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
