Nobody's mentioned poor Jared Kuschner or Donnie jr. Surely these are hurt human beings because they got caught. Think of the horror when they realize that all their money means nothing in prison.
 
He'll probably pardon Kim Jong-un for crimes against humanity...then watch Dennis Rodman get him drunk while he checks out the N Korean cheerleaders
 
Dennis Rodman. Why not? He could reveal secrets about "lil' Kim".
 
At least you know why you're food tastes that way now.
No, I grow no food in front. All vegetables, herbs, fruit are behind a fence and I had gate installed for just that reason. Dogs can't get over the fence. Cats can go over, of course, but then they get confronted by Margot and Lucia. So it's just ornamentals but when I'm crawling around weeding I really don't like being face to face with dog shit.

Who does? Unless you are on an episode of FEAR FACTOR.

Tomatoes
My wife and I always grow tomatoes. We've had a vegetable garden for the last 38 years.
 
Tomatoes. I have a load of volunteer tomatoes, won't know what variety until they fruit. All I know is something I planted last year. Plus this year's planting. I have at least 20 tomato plants in various locations. Eating lettuce (varieties not in any stores), chard, beets, kale, scallions, arugula. Strawberries close. Fruit trees all fruiting but far from ripe.

No corn? No string beans? No potatoes? No Zucchini? No spinach? No scallions? I'd rather have mustard greens, turnip greens and collard greens than chard or kale. Also, where's the Italian parsley, chives and basil? We also used to grow a sunflower or two plus some raspberries and concord grapes. a couple years before we sold our last house we had some blueberries. Our only fruit tree was a gravenstein apple tree. Not the best eating apples but they made the best apple pie and apple sauce. We also grew about three different types of lettuce. I only recognized the red leaf lettuce. My wife knew the other two. She eats a lot of lettuce with her Korean meals. I also liked to grow some yellow crooked necked squash. One year I planted some pumpkins. once in a while I would plant some acorn squash. My wife likes to plant some Korean chives and Korean cucumbers which are very similar to the English cucumber. We planted some perilla (a Korean mild mint which they make into kimchee). We also planted some yellow, red and white onions, some garlic and shallots.

Now, even though our lot is larger, it is crowded with trees and decorative bushes. We have a tiny spot for a garden. We grow very very little. But we worked a garden into the sparse space we had available. Okay, it's really small but very fun.
 
I Have scallions, just said. I have beans but not yet ready to eat. Don't grow corn because it takes of so much space and get at most two ears per plant. Potatoes, if you grow them once you're battling forever. I do grow spinach but it's past season now. No zucchini, I don't like it much and people will damn near pay you to take their zucchini. I grow butternut squash and sugar pumpkins. Also grow peppers, sweet & hot. Carrots. Cauliflower. Annual and perennial herbs. Grapevines. Fruit trees are plums (two varieties), Granny Smith apples for baking and Fuji for eating, peaches, figs, blood oranges, cara cara oranges, Meyer lemons, blueberries.

Love your garden. But how do you grow oranges and lemons? Are you in Southern Cal? Oh, and granny smiths are a great pie apple. Like fujis out of hand but honey crisps are my favorite eating apple.

If you're in Southern Cal. I'd plant some avocado. I love avocado but it's not on my diet per doctor's orders. I can't handle the potassium.

We also grew some artichoke. Sigh, this is also off my diet for the same reason.

No oranges, no nuts, no bananas, no spinach, no milk, no potatoes, no apricots, no papaya, no tomatoes, no cantaloupe and no chocolate. Life sucks.
 
Northern California. Citrus grows just fine. Oh yes, also have an artichoke plant, for some reason never had luck with avocado trees. They always dropped dead. I don't try tropical things like papaya, banana, chocolate - and chocolate needs a lot of work, you don't just eat it off the plant. I have a cantaloupe vine. Forgot the cherry tree, maybe because the birds often beat me to the fruit (um, cats?) I don't grow milk! Keeping a cow or goat is not feasible in urban area. I know people who keep chickens but would need to build a very secure coop due to cats.
 
I have a huge garden....we grow lots of veggies...also have a huge fruit orchard and seasonal mushrooms on our property...we're really lucky with good food...we go to the blueberry farm and strawberry farms to pick enough to last us a year...I have 4 hens...still too young to lay eggs but soon!
 
I miss my grandpa's garden terribly but I think the thing I miss most is the pear butter my grandma made from our pear tree's pears.

Mmmmmmm
 
The neighbor's dog that shits in my garden. But not the dog's human who does know better.
