I drive by several HUDs on my way to work. The difference between their residences and mine (other than the fact that I pay for mine and they don’t): My yard has a garden, their plots of free food via elbow grease is mysteriously missing. Perhaps it’s too difficult to work around all the DirecTV and Dish dishes?
Far better than free or cheap food!
A perfect tomato can only be grown at home.
Fresh dill, I put it on almost everything, while I can.
I froze over 25 qt. of snow peas to help through the winter.
My brussel sprouts are good until about Christmas.
With some luck I should have my first radish sandwich in about 10 days!
And the simple joy of watching the plants grow!
