    I used to love having a garden, but now with spending time on different coast, I can’t maintain them. Here’s my little one in Shell Beach, years ago. I had Avocado, mandarin orange, onions, blackberries, tomatoes, squash, etc.

    Years ago, after moving from a city to a rural town, my dad decided to plant a garden for the four of us in the family. Not knowing the yield, he planted 30 feet of summer squash. We didn’t plan on doing any canning.

    The neighbors helped us harvest the excess.

    Been there; done that! But I still have some herbs, cherry tomatoes, and my favorite - Carmen Sweet Peppers on our deck!

    We have tomato plants in a raised plant bed in the front (raised so my wife can get to the plants after breaking her kneecap last year) plus a pair of ‘dwarf’ fruit trees (apple and pear) that are doing well… next to 2 Marion berry bushes that are also bearing fruit… other vegetables come from the grocery store
