Growing up my grandparents had 2 gardens. We owned a farm but rented the fields out to the local farmer, I would guess the 2 gardens were about an acre or so too. The farmer would come down and plow them for us when he plowed the field next to them. I actually miss that, nothing like fresh picked produce. My uncle also had a farm that I worked on as a kid, used to pick the sweet corn and eat it right off the stalk, nothing like it, if you have never done it then you don't know how sweet it can be.
