I could have really used some helpers. Grandkids are too young yet so it was DH and myself. DH, pushing 81 has to take frequent breaks and tires easily. But he was a huge help this summer. It is just too big for one person to try and do. Maybe if I specialized in something instead of trying to grow everything. Like just cut flowers, garlic, honey and tomatoes.
But I am really looking forward to spending more time at my house and trying to make some flower beds here that I can incorporate veggies in. The soil here is a disaster so it's going to take a few years building it up. We'll do the largest share of the FAMILY garden at the farm still but I am going to try and keep it small. Right now, 40 rows. Next year, max of 10. And if we still have a vole/rat problem, raised beds with rat wire submerged for root veggies. And a BB gun.
