Small, but sweet, and blight resistant.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-77624462555751852412014-07-27T18:57:25.122-04:002014-07-27T18:57:25.122-04:00We do not have a large plot of land and a lot of i...We do not have a large plot of land and a lot of it is part to full shade. I will be blogging more about this situation when my spouse and I have more of a plan to deal with it. I want to be positive!

Land is so precious, and the urge to grow food is strong.

I'm sure it has changed a great deal. What a joy you have had your garden(s) for so long. Is yours so huge that replicating it at your home is out of the question? Does the University have any land that can be used that way? What deliciousness you and yours enjoy, growing and picking your own food!
