What the hell, it'll only take a few minutes and the darn things just might grow. You feel good, ready to plant an acre next year. Don't do it. Expand by all means, but remember that every time you double the size, you double the area that needs attention. There is another side of the garden expansion program to consider.
Somebody has to prepare it for eating or preserve it for the future.
That is another set of skills that someone must master. Barbara enjoys gardening almost as much as I do, but I do most of it just because she doesn't have as much time. We could swap back and forth, but it is easier for one person to have his mind tuned to one phase of the operation and enlist help when necessary. And so Barbara does the food preparation, freezing, and canning. Drying is a combination effort, and root storage is my province.
