You don't have to have a plot in a community garden for this. I trade
my lemons, grapes, and peaches for my neighbors' tomatoes and figs.
These are all grown in our back yards. No, we do not have vast estates;
our lots are about 1/5 acre (less than 0.1 hectare), much of which is
occupied by our homes.
