@meggie Yes that's the problem. It probably doesn't pay as well as my current job and I'm getting older. Maybe just a full-time hobby is good enough lol

ive got green onions, beets, summer squash, zuchinni. yellow wax beans, swiss chard, luffa, stevia, parsley, bell peppers, radishes, tomatoes, basil and cinnamon basil (cucumbers got bugs so i pulled them out and had spring garlic and romaine lettuce earlier)

Lots of varieties of peppers and tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, okra, blueberries, blackberries, and then I have a couple of persimmon trees that are still developing along with a peach and a plum.

Impressive! In an above ground box we have basal, mint, rosemary, and tomatoes that grow and make it. We've tried berries and cucumbers unsuccessfully. The plant grows but doesn't bear full grown anything.

Apples. Pears. Strawberries. Raspberries. Blackberries. French beans. Runner beans (been awful this year probably due to drought like conditions) courgettes. Tomatoes. All currently available.
Onions. Potatoes. Cabbages. Brussels. Lettuce. Spinach. Rhubarb and gooseberries hopefully for the winter months.
I've made that much jam and preseves this year I've no room to store any more and I've enough pies. Pastries and cakes stored in freezers i won't buy anything probably for best part of next year.
With pricing and availability the way it is, makes sense to utilise your garden 😀

@Picklebobble2 we did that in our last house as it had a massive garden with many fruit trees. My runner beans look healthy but have hardly had any beans too. As you say the drought like conditions. I've got a large pot of rhubarb but cant pick it the first year. Nice too to eat your own produce.

None. Our soil is sand. To grow anything we have to make an above ground bed and bring in real dirt.
