| We had a bunch of gardens when I was growing up. Tomatoes, the occasional squash/pumpkin, some corn, strawberries, etc. They were all pretty awesome to have. The only real pain in the ass I remember was the fruit trees. We had a couple plum trees that turned out pretty decently, but I can't remember ever eating an apple we had grown. Pest problems on the trees were much bigger than pest problems on the smaller plants. Just make sure you're mindful of rabbits, keep stuff fenced in whenever possible. Those little bastards sure make a mess of stuff in a hurry. |
