Under $48,000 on the mortgage chain.

Man, that is some serious beamwork in that first pic. Is that a log cabin type house?

Congrats on the low mortgage. It was a tremendous load off our shoulders when it was paid off.

Those are cattle panels attached to T-Post. The green beans and pickles will climb up and be easer to harvest.

I'm drawing a blank on what the "rack" is that the chain hangs from. Please educate me.

I used to vine my cukes through the chain link, but the dogs eat them

More than I do by far. I have been trying to do some stuff in pots/buckets to conserve sq. ft. @ ground level.

Basically I grow enough to make salsa and pickles.

We have been expanding a little every year. We sit on 1/2 acre in city limits, good sized lot. We could definitely go much bigger, but we are growing into it. It’s her hobby, I wasn’t raised on veggies so it’s all new to me. I’m up for it. This year will be the first that I really help much.

Why am I not surprised…..I like Trader Joe’s.

Our dirt patch and compost pile. Plenty of room to grow.

 

[ChrisK]

We are on almost 10 Acres, 4 of those are woods. We have fruit trees and black raspberries also. Deer, Turkeys,Squirrels and Rabbits roaming thru.

I could be a serious vegetable gardener. Time does not allow and not physically in the cards for Mrs Mcapo anymore.

Get a couple coon cuffs or live traps. Betting you'll need them.

First story is log, second story is post and beam frame with stress skin panels (foam sandwiched between drywall and OSB) and roof is on 2"x10" rafters. Whole thing is 24x36 on a poured basement.

Herb drying rack that I made years ago with hand tools out of walnut from the front yard where I grew up. Only been used a few times for it's intended purpose.

Compost piles are great but require turning to keep the aerobic decomposition going. We use a tumbler for the kitchen waste and add grass for the green stuff. Turns it into dirt much faster than the pile. Want to find two square plastic barrels with screw on lids, about 30 gallon and make a tumbler of my own design.
Things that are too bulky for the tumbler go into a pile in a cage.

My garden this year consists of Onions, tomatoes, green peppers, and strawberries all in planters. I didnt plant anything in hopes of moving the trailer before winter.

That is the most bestest explanation ever.

I just add random holes full of fish heads. Honestly too lazy to compost. Mulch it into oblivion!

Smart choice ..... the turkeys need your attention .... not the dirt !

I used to have a decent size garden, and I took care of it for years (I stress "I", because I was the only one that ever did any work on it).
The grocery store has plenty of veggies, and I can goof around more these days !
True story, and no regrets.

Too lazy to let stuff rot? Man. That's pretty lazy.
