And yet, to fence in a 100' x 100' garden took them 14 years. Also, if you
read the account by the Nearings themselves, it sounds like they did it all
themselves, just the two of them. But in reality all during that time they
had
as many as 30 people staying at their place for a few days or a few months
and
these sojourners did most of the work.
