I truly enjoy my gardening. I dedicated most of my back yard to garden. Flowers along one fence line, vegetables in the middle, and grape vines and equipment sheds on the other side. Also keep my perennials in the flower bed.
While it may be cheaper, simpler, and easier to just buy what you need, you are also missing out on a lot of flavor and nutrition.
I also do volunteer work on a "stricter than organic" farm. When I get asked at the markets that we sell at, I rarely have to defend our prices. MY produce has flavor. It has not been exposed to harsh chemical fertilizers, bug sprays, or any other unnatural materials.
What you buy in the supermarket was grown probably thousands of miles away, forces fed too much chemical fertilizer, overwatered, and shipped in from who knows where. If that is what you want on your table, you are welcome to it. After all, somebody has to buy that stuff. Myself, I say you cannot beat the taste of fresh picked vegetable from the garden a few yards outside your back door.
Over the years, I have found a lot of ways to combat common garden problems. Due to critters eating and damaging too much, I put an electric fence around my garden. Due to watering issues, I installed drip irrigation. Now I can water the whole garden with a single faucet, and get the water where it will do the most good - right at the root line of the plants. Weeds were a big problem for years. So, I started using a weed barrier fabric. Keeps the weeds down, warms the soil, and helps it to retain the water.
All in all, you simply cannot beat the taste of a fresh picked summer tomato. Peas, beans, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, and carrots all have better flavor when they come from the garden. My garden is my favorite thing on my property.
