It is a dream come true, really.
For now, we're focusing on cold hardy stuff for the fall-- kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots. Got some blueberry & elderberry transplanted from the old house & re-established just in time, the weather just broke here 2 days ago. Going to try to get some fruit trees in before it gets cold, we'll see. It's been a long process & a lot of work, but we love it.
That's cool about your grandpa, the work you put in definitely pays off, we always end up giving stuff to friends & neighbors. Now that we have more room, we hope to grow enough to sell a little too at the local farmer's market.
