Can probably say half the people where I live have a truck garden.
Growing up in Brooklyn there were lots of truck gardens, many decent
sized farms back then. Right accross the street Mr Richards had a
truck garden, us kids was always stealing his apples... he'd chase us
and holler... that's how I learned a lot of good cuss woids... ma,
what's a little douchebag? hehe
