Sometimes, you just have to move on.
For years, my partner and I have tried to grow fruits and veggies. This year, we planted onions, chives, sweet potatoes, lettuce (2 types), sage, and cilantro. We also have a cherry tree and an apple tree. Below is our bounty. Tasty, but scarce.
Over the years, we've tried lots of things. The results have been similar. Enough is enough. We have heard our ancestors' pleas.
We give up. So much for food self-sufficiency.
We will continue to support local CSA’s.
