I should probably start.

Not this year's garden, obviously but this is the year when the garden tried to take over the property. That fence that shows in the back is 6' tall and you can see the "pond" which has been ecliped by the tomatoes and melons. I've cut back since then, this year planning for tomatoes (love different heirloom varieties) garlic and kale. Of course when the time really comes to plant, I could end up with other things as the obsession takes over. The tomatoes are some of the different varieties I put in.

I grow and preserve food.If I do not grow enough myself, I'll buy it from the neighboring farms.

Oh, yes. I have gardened for over 40 years. In Florida, I grow 3 gardens a year. I love gorwing the vegetables, eating them, and sharing them. There is a picture of me and my tomato plants this year on this site.

I started my life on a farm in Tennessee. When we moved to town my Dad always kept a small garden in the back yard, maybe mostly just to stay in touch with his own roots. I continue that tradition now, and in the same spirit; just to stay in touch with life. I experiment with ways to use the least resources and gain the best result, in cooperation with nature.
