I have a not large apartment with a balcony. Rules of the leasehold prevent me from putting much on the balcony though so in practical terms I only have a very small amount of space in/outside to grow anything. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have a go but I can't see myself doing very well.
I definitely don't have the time (or inclination if I am honest) to get an allotment - the nearest ones I know of are at least 10/15 minutes drive away. I like the idea of growing my own food though. Ad astra per aspera
If you're lucky that person also keeps bees and you can get some honey out of the deal as well.
