IMHO one category of answers is always wrong: lies. You may oversell yourself a bit, you can (and should) keep private matters to yourself but don't lie. > And live in a house in the suburbs with enough room for a garden, good > soil, and not in the shadow of buildings.

I grow about 15 herbs, strawberries, tomatoes, chillies and flowers on a small balcony in the middle of the city. This year I'm going to harvest at least 200 tomatoes from two plants in a 1m * 40cm * 40cm box of soil. I even have a calabash plant that grows like crazy.
