    I live on an island off the coast of Maine. My disabled husband and I have 1/4 acre and because we are mostly on ledge our gardens are mostly aised beds. Because my husband is wheelchair bound, I do all of the heavy work, but he does great with the raised beds. This year I planted an apple tree. Next year I will plant another one plus two peach trees. This year I did an experiment with tomatoes in buckets versus in the ground and the tomatoes in the buckets won in terms of height and number of tomatoes. Next Spring, I am hoping to get chickens. I am 62 years old; my husband is 75 years old. I still work a full-time job, thankfully, from home.
