I heard a new story from Dad about their childhood garden.  Apparently at one point they had land or rented land, 40 acres!!  It was to garden on and then sell the excess produce.  This was in addition to the garden they had at their house, approx an acre or so.  And then I think there was some other small plot of land with produce.  When I started the tiny pool garden at the house with tomatoes and peppers, Dad said “the best smell in the world is tomato plants when they’re growing.  You could go out in the garden and pick them off and bite into them like an apple.”  Sounds like I should have grown up in that time and gotten pro tips on gardening! :-)
