Thanks. I have been following all the garden threads too. I grew up on a family farm in central Texas during the 50s. I know hard times well, and remember picking cotton, corn, shoveling milo, thrashing peanuts, herding cattle, sheep, raising hog, etc.
We had a huge garden and even ground our own flour and cornmeal. I would really like to move back there and start my own big garden again. I only have a small backyard plot, but all the fresh veggies we had for dinner last night were grown in it.

That is wonderful, I am so glad you were able to grow them.
I will have to watch for the blogs that have information on the multi level gardens.
LOL, you might say nail a bunch of pots on a support post.
Maybe used pallets, on blocks would give you 2 or 3 levels for pots, at least for the low growing plants.
Yes, I have picked cotton, and rubbed milo off the stalk on a rub board also used to do the laundry on, that milo is dirty stuff when it comes out of the field.
So was shucking the dry corn and taking it off the cobs.
My dad stayed in San Diego during the war, worked as a mechanic, which he was good at, but after the war, he went back to Seminole Texas and sharecropping.
Old farmers, are always farmers.
