Gosh, years ago when my son and I moved to AZ, we had a beautiful vegetable garden. My son decided immediately that we needed to plant it. We had to sift all of the rocks out of the dirt and spent probably $200 or more in amendments. Then the planting started. We had so much stuff and it was really cool to see it all come to life. We fed it, watered it, weeded it for weeks. One day I came home from work and the grasshoppers paid us a visit and everything for the most part was gone. I told my son that those veggies were the most expensive I have ever had and we couldn't even enjoy them. I shop at the market now.
