Pops Vege Patch
For information about the Dayboro Organic Gardening Club ph Shane Fuller:3425 1553-happy gardening.
My Grandfather had a vege patch the likes of which I have never seen equalled.
Growing up in the great depression with 14 siblings I suppose his family had to do whatever they could to save money. His father grew as much of their own food as possible and I think the habit stuck. He still had it going until he passed away a couple of years ago.
