No, and sorry to make it sound like that. My garden is big but not as big as I would like. It does supply all of our produce during the growing-harvest season. It is organic as well. So if you look at what it produces, a very large chunk of our food comes from that garden. For example, I did up 22 jars of green beans in addition to eating them fresh while available. By the time we run out of green beans, the new harvest will be ready. A rabbit can destroy this in one or two nights. Last year I had 31 tomato plants and several lettuce patches all that a rabbit can destroy in a very short period of time. Tomatoes aside of the heritage ones aren't as much of a problem as I have access to all the free tomatoes I want but they are canning tomatoes. I'm close to U-picks so rely heavily on those until my fruit trees-plants produce well. My strawberry plants produced enough to make 18 jars of jams and fresh eating. I'm working on getting the garden to produce more. We're putting in a variety of grapes this year.
