Backyard farmers grow Lawrence's budding harvest crowd
Glenn Garrett and Charlotte Sommer, longtime neighbors in North and East Lawrence, tout thriving gardens that yield more than beauty. Sommer reported 45 pounds of spinach in one day and abundant asparagus, while Garrett boasts a 50-foot row of tomatoes and a parade of crops. They sell produce at the Downtown Farmers Market and use earnings to offset groceries, with Garrett noting yearly sales around $400 and both saying they plant wherever space allows.
