Could you grow all your fruit and veg ?

I was pretty successful growing vegetables as a teen until a kid working for my dad ran the lawn mower over my garden. I haven’t tried though since. The lettuce and squash I grew at one time were pretty good. My dad has had a very successful blackberry bush for several years now so hopefully we could come up with something. It might be scarce.

I know HOW to grow fruits and veggies but wouldn't be able to do the work anymore to have a successful garden/orchard.

@TRACEYJAYNE I would dearly love to become self sufficient in veggies and if I put my heart and soul into it I think I'd do pretty well. The problem however is neither my heart nor my soul - it's my back. I have to limit myself to bursts of 15 minutes or I'd become a cropper. When I get back form Manchester on Tuesday next week I'll be planting my first earlies (potatoes) but I plant them on big planters rather than in the ground to avoid digging and I'm quite successful. My beetroot will be sown in April and courgettes in May.

When we had an acreage I grew a lot of vegetables but it's hard to grow enough to see you through a year or even part of a year. I grew carrots, potatoes, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, tomatoes.

I couldn't physically handle gardening these days.

If I have room, I try to grow vegetables wherever I have lived. I lived in two places that I had apple trees, and one had a peach tree as well. I've had berry patches, but I don't have room for them here. We do grow some strawberries at my daughter's house. And yes, we grew enough that we canned or froze enough for our family and the grandparents for the year. I love to barter, and I have one friend I barter with. She brings me eggs and I make her brownies or cookies or breads. This year she was in the hospital all of November and December for two surgeries, and she got rid of her chickens until her leg is better. But she has big plans to get some more in late April, so I can definitely say our bartering will be back.

I love flowers but so far I don't get bushels of any vegies in my garden. I have had more success with pumpkins but only starving folks would eat them day after day all winter.

I can grow and I have grown some like tomatoes, chilies, eggplants, bittergourd, pumpkins and a few others before but not in quantities that would suffice my need for a year.
