Being in the "Old World" ( England ) I have an allotment 25 yards by 10 that I rent from the local council as by law they have to provide them if there is sufficient demand.
I've had it 20 years and basically grow as many varieties of fruit and veg as possible from asparagus, sweet corn, globe artichokes, beans ( 5 or 6 kinds ) through root crops such as potatoes, swedes, fennell to soft fruit such as blueberries, gooseberries and blackberries. I know once I counted up to about 50 varieties.
Its a nice break from work and training but it is a pain when you go on holiday and come back to find you have missed a crop.
Oh to live in Florida where frosts aren't such a problem as our latest ones can sometimes fall in early June which restricts the growing season a bit.
Loved the photo's of the garden, you have some amazingly pretty golf courses in the States as well.
