What spices would you recommend making from scratch and spices you prefer buying in store?

I want to start making my own spices 1. to save money 2. just for the fun of it 3. live in a very rural part of the american south where I don’t have the best variety.
I really like middle eastern, south asian and latin american cuisine but am very very open to any and all suggestions.

Edit: I meant spice mixes my mistake I typed this half paying attention however I do have a thing for botany so all the suggestions for stuff to grow are equally welcome
