Yeah, well it may be hard to grow a garden if you live in the projects or an apartment. It may also be hard if you don't have the tools, there is no Tractor Supply store near, and your parents didn't farm so they can't teach you how. Not saying it isn't possible, but there are heavy factors weighing against it.
I've always liked plants, but with my current apartment, I'll be darned if I can figure out how to grow one. My northern window doesn't get much light, and my southern one is blocked by a huge maple.
