And thanks for the idea of weeding - it's a large clearing, over half an acre about a 100 feet from the house. I think I may just mow it down with my riding lawnmower, never considered any maintenance until I read your post.
I plan to gather rainwater off the roofs of the 2 garages and house - the clearing is about 30 feet below the level of the buildings, so I can gravity feed water down to the gardens/greenhouse without using hydro to run my well pump. Already collect a small bit of water to use in the house rather than run that hydro-hungry pump.
Another link for you - I've grown veggies before. This one I posted years ago here in DU
Lots of pix here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=246x10250
enjoy, and thanks for the "weeding" advice
I'll get on it.
