Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Given your situation and physical limitations I'm wondering whether you might want to check out SPIN. It is a system where one person leases land in the city from a person like you and uses it to grow food. There is a SPIN farmer in Portland. This is a contact website.

www.citygardenfarms.com/

They grow food organically on your land and sell part of it as their business. You get some of what they grow. It might be a good option for you. I imagine they could also handle the fruit trees.

Hope this helps.

My partner and I are elderly and he recently became too ill to garden and the area was rather roughly plowed up and growed a huge crop of weeds on it. At this time I'm trying to mow down those weeds periodically but it's really too much exercise for me.
