We actually have 3 gardens; 1 vegetable garden (the largest at 32'x100'+) 1 flower garden (roughly 2/3 the size of the vegetable garden and a small flower garden for our daughter (roughly 10' in diameter)
We just moved onto this plot in November and are still learning the land. In past years, the vast majority of it was planted in Millet (no idea of what variety) Along with trying our hand at the gardens this year, we're attempting to get a farm up and running little by little.
