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.

I don’t think the HOA will allow stacking pallets for multi level gardening here.

I hope my fruit trees have a decent crop again. I planted them instead of shade trees when we moved here in ‘91.

I start itching just thinking about the milo dust.
