Do you have, or have you ever had, a group of people around you who like to trade and barter produce, products and skills?
Every grower is anxious as we can't control everything. Glad to see of late you are getting desired results, which is the biggest achievement for a grower. Unfortunately, very few are around who produce, but in my native, we distribute, even though not trade. So in exchange, we get fresh vegetables from their garden. In my native garden, we get lot of bananas ( raw and ripen), apple berries, papaya, jack fruits, Carambola etc and these plants do not need continuous care, so that does not stress us out.
It sounds like you've got a lot of different things and it makes sense to have easy-care plants to minimise the time-focus.
Yes, that's true.
