Excellent point, Cindy.  I'm not citing statistics because I can't be
bothered, but in 1924 even the poor employed working class people
living in urban settings had to find a way to buy food, or beg for it
or steal it.  Where were they supposed to plant vegetable gardens?

You do hopefully catch that homeowners aren't growing all their food?
As listed earlier. 55% of *home owners* have some level of edibles
growing;  That could just be an herb garden in a windowsill, a tomato
pot or two in the backyard.  Apartment dwellers _who have a porch
suitable_ may have the same (I think the link said 7%).

I don't know why you keep talking about this.  Not everyone is interested in gardening.  I'm certainly not.
 

Obviously not all apartments have a suitable porch or the complex may
have rules controlling what is allowed and that's why the link laid
that out specifically.

 I didn't bother to look at the link.  Not interested in hobby gardening.

Wise decision, your Majesty. Even the Gullah people don't garden anymore. De Chilluns still survive OK.
