Pullstart 63,205 #3 Posted August 15, 2019 Our land was too wet this season to prepare a garden. Luckily, Grandma and Grandpa are just a couple miles away and we see them once a week for some home cookin’! Their garden is the blackest, richest dirt I’ve ever seen around here and the garden is always a free pantry to just about anybody. You can pick all you want, but if your hand touches a weed, you are supposed to pull it! We’ve shredded 8-10 zucchini and froze them in 2 cup portions for my mom to make bread, even tossed a couple in a roast I did a week ago. There are always beans to pick, eggplant (that was in the roast too), cucumber galore and did I mention beans? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #4 Posted August 15, 2019 we had a fantastic year, I recently moved back to my grandparents property. the vegetable garden had one of its best years, mainly from taking out several 125' tall poplar trees, more sun, the chicken fertilizer. I also put in a large berry garden on the other side of the property, blueberry, strawberries, raspberry and some grapes. did well I didn't let them fruit heavy the first year. also put in 100 Christmas trees. starting my 5.5 acre farm. at least I have 15 or so tractors! all and all we had so much extra my kids set up a stand and sold produce. I have bigger plans for next year. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been putting out squash for free on the road...
