There is about 6,000 Sq Ft within the deer fencing. About 30% of that is walkways, a lawn strip and a couple of sheds and storage areas. Then there is 850 sq ft in berries, 540 in Dahlias, 200 in roses, 300 for compost bins etc, 120 for a bird feeding a station. What’s left is for my wife’s annual flowers and my garlic, corn and potatoes as we have reached the age where food has become secondary and we have given away 90% of our canning jars and 2 of our pressure cookers. We still have a All American canner that our grand daughter wants
Say it ain't so! Wow, that's a large garden and lot of work. Mine is small at less than 1000 sq ft all inclusive. I lost my berries during construction work and haven't been able to get new ones to grow. The squash is blooming but I never get any because of some bug or fungus every year. I was wanting to put out the new v.2 round of tomatoes and v.3 round of peppers (the weather destroyed the others) this week but we're expecting hail AGAIN, sigh..... Hubby has gone overboard with his bird feeding with new feeders all the time but they're fun to watch. There are hummingbirds, cardinals, sparrows, doves, blue jays, titmouses, finches, etc. feeding right now. There's a woodpecker who simply loves the hummingbird feeder who's an absolute hoot to watch. Not at the feeders obviously, but flying around past the window are Canadian geese, blue herons and ducks in the water.
