Do I want too much garden?
I’m buying this little square of land across the street from me to plant a garden. I originally planned on putting a small garden in my back yard but now with the larger space that doesn’t have to be used for anything else, I’m thinking about four 2 or 3ft x 50ft rows. I have access to a tiller so I’m not tearing it up by hand and I have a half baked idea for an auto watering set up. Not a good one but enough of one that I think it’s doable.
I know this is way too much food for my house hold but my thought is that when I harvest it we’ll can a ton of stuff and I’ll give a bunch away to the community. This sounds like an awesome idea in my head but I have a history of biting off more than I can chew by underestimating the difficulty of things and this seems like that kinda thing.
I guess I have two questions. Am I wanting too much garden? If you had this space, what would you do with it? In zone 6 KY.
