My Mother was a wonderful gardener and I have always wanted to grow my own veggies. Now that I have some room and time I have had a garden for the last two years.

When I was young my Mother would take me up to her aunts place somewhere around Stockton, Ca. She loved going up there because her aunt was a big time gardener and her place was one huge garden.

These pictures were taken in the summer of 1948. My Mom and me walking around her aunts garden.

Awesome !

We have smaller gardens, yet we get more from em with careful planning than most would in same area. My goal next year is to build a greenhouse. We would love to have about six acres for just gardens but our property is just 2 acres. But we gave up lawn 2 years ago to make room for more garden spaces. But we share a lot of our harvest is we that we can’t properly store due space or consumption etc ....

Good luck on your gardening !
