Have you heard of reticulum?
Never, but I will spool up on it.
Always fancied growing my own food
Even in a small yard, one can grow enough food to offset buying at the local grocery. Container gardening. Maybe using some areas of your landscaping for a small grow. I'll tell you that there is nothing like home grown food. It tastes much different than what you find in most groceries. For instance, I look forward in much anticipation to tomato season. I grow all kinds of varieties. Store bought tomatoes are usually picked green, flooded with Ethylene, and shipped. That will never compare to a sliced tomato, ripe off the vine with some mayo, salt and pepper, between two slices of bread.
