Well.... if it never gets too cold, that is certainly more understandable.

For part of my life, there was a big field a distance behind our yard.  Power lines crossed it, so nothing else could be done there.  My Dad asked and the "powers that be" said a garden would be fine there, so that is where Dad's garden flourished.  I wonder now if we are all radiated from eating food from under there.  LOL... oh well... it sure did taste good !
