Your garden looks great! I would be struggling right now with the heat wave in CA. How large is your backyard and how much do you dedicate to your garden? Thanks for the post! I'm hoping my wife has some fresh veggies for dinner...

Thanks. My entire property is only a tenth acre and would guess about a third of the property is garden. House and garage are on about half of it. We do a lot of succession planting and trellis growing along with permaculture practices to get high yields.
Very cool! There is the Dervaes family in Pasadena does urban homesteading to the extreme. I saw a PBS special about them years ago about how they raise thousands of pounds of food a year. They we're the first that got me into following homesteading in general.
They were a big influence on me as well. I really never thought about doing it right where I was at in town and always dreamed of getting a bunch of acres in the country. When I seen there documentary on Youtube called "Homegrown Revolution" It convinced me I could do it right where I was. That was 5 years ago.
