I couldn’t decide where I wanted the garden this year, so it ended up being a potted garden on the back deck- not visible from the road. There are a tomatoes and peppers still coming in. We currently have dandelions and clover in the front & back yards and in the pastures. The acorns haven’t started falling yet, but I researched what needs to be done to make them edible, and WOW it’s a long process! I think we’d be out of luck during the winter, so I did a little research about what would grow best inside during the winter.
During the summer we have wild raspberries and a Saskatoon berry bush as well as potted raspberries, blueberries, and everbearing strawberries on the back porch (assuming they all make it through their first winter). Lots of deer in the area, but those could be scared off quickly if everyone started shooting at them. We have a live trap that we usually put in the breezeway between the barn and the next building when we need to get rid of a varmint.
