The soil in the subdivided block I live on is very poor, as in fed it multiple rounds of greenn manures & sprinklings of blood & bone & charlie carp & it didn't do much to help, all crop withered & curled except the pumpkins & zuchs, didn't see anything from most of the zuchs & the pumpkins keep getting ruined by neighbour the crazy but two days back trystan found that the trombonicio had actually produced 3 fruits a few hundred grams each, we had them in dinner & I'm half considering doing some last minute baking with them & my last bit of pumpkin for road snacks.
It has been hard for my mental state not to have a decent area of garden over the last few years I have sought sanity among my green friends & the benefit of not having to buy my carrots or pumpkin or whatever for months at a time was just the icing on the cake.
I'm hoping that my next rental will have the space to wander among green beds & let me half peace in watering & checking my plants & relocating the critters I may not want never mind that the digging strengthens my core & arms so my pain is barely a concern to me.

I hope you do find a better greener place Rae. It has been researched & proven, that people who have gardens or can visit park lands close-by have a better quality of life.
