Gardening
Like the guy above I agree with you. I think grass is a waste of water. I'm going to slowly transform the back/sideyard into something like above. Start at min 2 to skip his war dodging comments.

That being said, I would love to have a raised garden. We keep talking about it but have never taken the plunge. Our last garden had horrible pest problems and it seemed like a huge waste of time. One thing we did learn - grow hot peppers next to the other stuff to semi keep the bugs off them.
We have a huge garden every year.
Corn - three varieties
Tomatoes - four varieties
Lettuce
Radishes
Arugula
Peas
Carrots
Beans
Peppers - jalapeno and green
Spinach
Beets
Lima Beans
Onions
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Zucchini
Crook Neck Squash
We do put up a lot for the winter. Mainly freeze corn, beans, peas and can tomatoes and fresh salsa

^Not much. That said, we do live in the country and have a 16 acre lot with pasture and a couple of horses and plenty of room for a large garden. My lot is 600' x 1500', so it's pretty roomy. My wife and I actually grew up on grain and livestock farms so we've been around it forever.
Why? To deal with traffic, *********, gangsters, and not ever being able to go somewhere without people. I am allergic to cities.
Sorry, I had to start at the beginning and I couldn't get past his comments about genetically engineered food being bad so I stopped the video. I think people like him should burn for an eternity in hell (subtle enough for you <G>) for the thousands of dead children for whom he is indirectly responsible.

This is what I do for a living.
I have spent a fortune on my yard. So much in fact, that if I did not have it I could probably afford to do a Ferrari motor swap in my car.
Everything is native to Florida.






I have hundreds of plant and wildlife pictures I have taken over the years.

I'm going with no sauce, slicing with the cap, and I'm working hard on seasoning right now and figuring out what I want in my brisket. My initial goal was to copy Black's, but now I feel that's unfair/impossible. It will be interesting to see where I end up and what people think of it.
