We enjoy growing the garden and we get all we want and then give it all away to friends and family. We give a lot to the elderly people in the area. The smiles on their faces makes it all worth it. There is a large section of garden with cantaloupe, honey dew melons, different varieties of cucumber, peppers, different varieties of eggplant, squash,zucchini, beets, carrots, an all season cabbage, English peas, and some Roma tomatoes.
