That 1 acre garden should pay off well, with CA out of water, groceries 
aren't headed any way but up in the coming years.  I can see why you 
think your plate has enough on it.

I'd darned near kill for an acre of Iowa's black loam to plant.  I was 
born & raised there, nothing like it, except some land in MO exists that 
I have found in my travels from job to job over the last 65 years.  All 
I have here is yellow clay gumbo thats darned near sterile, growing only 
weeds.  Last garden I planted had 35 feet of woven wire holding up the 
peas, and another 35 feet holding up some half-runners.  I got 1, 5 qt 
saucepan of peas and beans combined. 10 lb bag of seed taters gave maybe 
5 lbs of marbles. A dozen hills of sweet corn grew one ear. I also 
learned that you can't plant cauliflower and broccoli together, both 
crossbred and didn't produce a usable, or even even identifiable veggie.

Peppers worked, but only at 5% capacity, 1, maybe 2 per plant.  And I had 
been tilling in kitchen waste & gypsum for 10 years then!  Then my $800 
rear tine tiller broke down about 3 years ago, jammed in gear, basic 
design flaw, they ALL do it, and I saved the tires and Honda motor & the 
tines in case someone needs them, the rest of it goes out to the 
landfill & recyclers in the next trailer load.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
