the only reason i raise gardens is because i'm cursed with a super taster syndrome.
nothing compares to fresh produce or home canned vegetables and few can appreciate the flavors.
most people are just feeders that don't have sensitive taste buds.
i buy aged cow manure, spread table scraps, tree leaves and anything else to build the soil.
i tried horse manure one year but they had sprayed the pasture with weed killer and my tomatoes were sick that year.
just vacuum packed 18 bags of corn today and will have 4 times that much more.
also put up beans, squash, zucchini, okra, and tomatoes.
very lucky to get that much considering the absence of adequate rain this year.
also, gardening is about the only good exercise i get.
