Four acres is a nice size. My parents and grandparents live on four acres and we had a huge garden growing up (about half an acre). It was a pain to hoe, but not as big a time-killer as mowing the lawn was. Even with the tractor with the four foot blade, it would take about four hours to get all the mowing and trimming done. (I could get it done in two hours when no one else was home because then I could go in fourth gear instead of second or third. My parents and grandpa used to say I was going too fast and wasn’t giving the blades a chance to cut. Now they have newer tractors that go much faster than the old one did and they zip around the yard at speeds I couldn’t even come close to.)

Anywho, I think this is a great opportunity for you and think you’ll love it.
