My garden is about 5000 acres of Class A, Alluvial Ag Soil. Some of the best in the nation. I live in a tiny subdivision that shouldn't have been. It was placed right smack-dab in the middle of this ag land back in the early 60's. Definitely had to be a shifty transaction between developer and some councilman. I'm surrounded on 3 sides by miles of fields and right now about 100 yards from my front door, today's choice is fresh brocolli. In a couple weeks it will be Butter Lettuce interplanted with Red Leaf Lettuce. On the other side we just finished a crop of Bokchoy and they're prepping for another crop right this minute. An old school Japanese family that was here and farming long before WW-II still maintains the farm and they have a big fruit and vegetable stand about 1000 yards from my house where the pick of the crop goes for neighborhood sales while the bulk heads out to your local grocery store via truck and train. It's nice not having to get my fingers dirty! All the other crops that aren't growing around my house (we're allowed to pick from the outside edges), come from the fields down the street and are picked daily for the Fruit Stand so we can get daily pickin's if we wish.
