Used to. We only cultivate a small strip around the property. Back
garden was full of herbs and bean vines, we still have a grape vine,
plum tree, crabapple tree (can make jelly), ate the purslane that grows
as a weed around here, large decorative containers hold chile and tomato
plants etc. Not done much since I was ill but might manage to get things
going next year.

It's the only way to go.
