MOST EDIBLE GARDENS are an excessive amount of work. I discovered this the onerous method, once we lived on Lengthy Island and shared a group backyard with six pals.
The plot was the final one out there and undesirable: swampy, weed-filled, rocky and sloped. However we had large goals. “Watermelons,” recommended Ford, who grew up in Texas. “Okra,” mentioned Jean, who grew up in South Carolina. “Papayas,” mentioned my husband, who’s from Mars.
