I grew 3-4 lbs of produce a week 9 months a year on my postage stamp size lot in a city in 11 raised beds 4' x 6' each. Sure, I wasn't completely self sufficient, but I took a HUGE chunk out of our grocery bills
I think it's great that you have a garden. Not only do you save money, but you are eating healthier than store bought food.
Some people still might say that growing 3-4 lbs of food a week, 9 months out of the year, isn't going to save anyone if the stores shut down.
