I've certainly enjoyed my garden this year. I am harvesting eggplant, zucchini, yellow crook neck squash, tomatoes, and I've even had about 6 berries on the strawberry plants just planted this year. My onions and potatoes are almost ready. I did them in grow bags. Much easier I found out.
If I wasn't in a neighborhood with a HOA and their idiot rules...
I'm in town but could get away with growing on my little old half acre. I really don't have the time or equipment to do it right.
The less lawn, the less mowing. Win, win!
