For you folks in cities with small areas to grow food, read the book square foot gardening, I grew great vegetable gardens in LA. I couldn't stand eating shite tomatoes so I went back to my WVA roots and grew my own. I left LA and now have acreage, grow all of my own veggies, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, turnips, strawberries, plums, apricots, apples, currents, Saskatoon berries, horseradish, 700 hundred head of garlic, 2 bee hives. Its awesome to harvest your own food Edit: we also have Chickens Hogs and are looking to have some head of cattle

I'm in my second year of my 5 acre journey. Moved from the suburbs and I will never look back

It's fun and a LOT of work. One of the best things we did on our acreage was to put in a pool. We can garden around the pool. We have 5 large pots growing tomatoes around the pool and the strawberries and our Grandson is so into picking tomatoes and berries while he's at the pool. Too much fun. He's 6 and loves eating the tomatoes

I would love to put in a pool. So many summer days working the garden wishing I had one. I'm strapped for cash tho remodeling a legitimately crazy cat lady's 1900s house. I built a 2x4 tarp pool for myself on the 4th of july this year to drink beer in. Hahaha
