I have .29 acres and am planting ALL of my backyard with vegetables this year....
Always wanted to do this.
Perfect time to have fun doing this.
Am preparing my apartment walls for painting once the weather breaks soon. Got painting paraphenalia etc. when I did the grocery run as nobody, at the time, knew how long or what would happen to prevent this virus's spread. ......I think everyone has their moment when their comfort level signal begins to blink yellow and it's time to evaluate ones situation.

Excellent! Keep us apprised as you move forward with this.
When we moved to Tennessee, I found out I don’t actually have a brown thumb. Things actually grow quite easily here! So I’ve really enjoyed learning about gardening, pests, fertilizing, weather, harvesting crops, and keeping them away from predators. The first year deer ate the corn. The second-year crows. This year coyotes of all things. They loved it apparently. They would take down a whole stalk and carry it off into the forest and eat every little kernel.
We have about .05 of an acre intensively planted with fabulous soil and raised beds. We don’t buy any veges from April to November. We are fully self sufficient in garlic and jam. Just gotta plant carefully, intensively, and maintain.
