America's post fast food era & Europe's oldskool land lovers

Really nice garden and pictures! My parents garden too in Eastern Europe (while having full time jobs as teachers) and the gardens supply about half of their food I'd say - more than half of vegetables and fruit, lots of eggs, a bit of chicken meat from time to time. The chicks get too old to lay eggs and they have to be replaced (and eaten! :).

I'd have a plot and a coop too if I had a house. It does not take much time. Start small and learn, get seedlings from local gardeners, who are usually happy to help, you wouldn't believe it.

Impressive garden. A good thing about this kind of "permanent" work with edible food is realizing it would be recognized and enjoyed by one young person today, a person 1 generation ago, a person 2 generations ago, 3,4,5 and on.
