    I'm retired and I spend my time reading, gaming, and working on / in my garden.
    Gardening? With nine acres you should have your own hobby farm.

      Half of it is leased to a cattle farmer for haying -- this gets me agricultural tax rates.

      another acre is a woodlot and pond, the garden is about an eighth of an acre and expanding, and the orchard I occasionally put some effort into is another acre. That and the rest of the property is mowed and mulched for use in the garden.

      Produce includes black walnuts, cherries, mulberries, blackberries, black raspberries, okra, potatoes, sweet potatoes, assorted hot and sweet peppers, asparagus, broccoli, cabbages, and six or seven varieties of tomatoes that yielded roughly a half ton of produce last year.

      I'm too lazy to do more.

        Wow - that's a lot of food. Besides the asparagus, is there anything else that produces early in the year?

      Not really. If I were a little less lazy I would fall plant carrots, beets, turnips, spinach, lettuces and cabbages, and put low tunnels over them; that would give me fresh veggies over winter and into the spring. Too much hassle at this point.

        I mean, it's February and I just finished stacking the tomato cages a couple days ago, and haven't even started the new path or fixed the insect netting for the cole crops -- lazy!

          If you're retired I'm surprised agriculture gives you much tax advantage. How much tax advantage would you lose if the agricultural activity on your property ceased?

            Property taxes are separate from income taxes.
