I had a container garden on my 5th floor apartment porch. I can't say that space was cheap, but as long as you have some sunny outdoor space, you can grow stuff.
Some caterpillars infested my parsley and I decided the world needs butterflies more than I needed herbs, so I fed my garden to them and at the end was buying bunches of organic parsley to feed to them. Raisng caterpillars to butterflies was a real emotional and fulfilling experience, and the two that didn't make it will always be in my heart.

You could also look into community gardens. Not as convenient or simple as a home garden, but still pretty nice.

I'm always impressed by the massive community garden right next to a bunch of mid-low density housing whenever I go to a certain park. it's next to some tight old neighbourhoods with detached homes on small lots and townhomes/short apartments. the thing takes up more space than a small park and is clearly maintained and active.
it's nice to see.

Yes, but also, for anyone unsure, you are supposed to fill the raised beds with soil, so they are raised. Usually the kind that comes in bags marked “raised bed soil” or you get it by the truckload and have it dumped in your driveway.
Not sure whats going on with these garden corrals. Do they think the vegetables are going to escape, or do they have a problem with turtles munching the greens?

It's an issue in my neighbourhood, I couldn't get my tomatoes to grow very tall before they got munched on. But recently some wild dogs killed the goats, so maybe I'll try again.

Have you seen a baby goat jump? They are good jumpers. I think this would literally only prevent turtles. Copper tape/wire around the sides would help with snails. Some tall rebar with chicken wire wrapped around will keep goats and deer mostly out. They will push in as far as they can to nibble through the wire.
Sorry about your goats

No worries, those weren't my goats. They were my neighbour's. Appreciate the sympathy

Yeah, it sort of zaps them like when you lick a 9volt battery. They turn around and go the other way.

nice ! I'll be using this. Thanks. So far the advice I got from a friend was : placing empty shells arounds the plant repels the live ones. Apparently, it functions as a sort of warning. I've yet to try
