Barbie wouldn't be caught dead in that skirt. That's from one of your dolls, isn't it. You grout better than you sew!

Our tomatoes are going ham this year. I bet I've given away 3 or 4 dozen so far and plenty more on the way.

Peppers did pretty good.
Cucumbers & peas were a bust.
Corn was delicious but stunted.
Watermelon only gave us 4.
Zucchini went crazy big.

Gonna till it all under and start fresh much bigger next year. Really didn't plan it out very well this year.

Because of extended drought, our garden didn't produce that well even with watering.
But the green peppers?
Damn, they just won't quit.

Who needs some damn peppers?
I am sick of them.

and our backyard wasn't big at all.....and the soil could not have been that good --and we played back there--so it was rough/etc

My current customer has a ton of veggies growing but they're all in raised boxes he made from pallets he gets from his job. Never seen an entire garden elevated like his. Pretty cool but not attractive to look at. They do a lot of canning

The Floating Gardens of the Aztecs - Four String Farm

When Cortez discovered the Aztec Empire in the year 1519, he found 200,000 people living on an island in the middle of a lake. Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City, was the biggest and best-fed city in the world, and this fortress city was completely surrounded by water. To feed their enormous...
