Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[nminusyplusm]

Another experiment I'm about to try is multigrafted semi dwarf fruit trees in 24" round stock tanks for areas where I have cement next to the house. I don't want to have to climb a ladder to pick and hoping the reflectivity and thermal mass of the adobe walls give them a little boost. I've read about mixed results with the multigrafts but I don't have room for separate pollinators.

That first winter when you crack open your first jar of summer ripe tomatoes...you're done. You'll be canning everything possible!
This is my summer bible...

Which place will you be gardening at when your life settles down a bit? Florida or Oklahoma? I would assume the climates are very different.

We got out of Florida because of overpopulation and the climate. Just too much heat. But i miss my friends and family.
