Welcome to the group! We have members who have container gardens up to individuals that have several acres, and range from northern gardens to the great plains, to the desert SW. So there is a large diversity in gardening on our group!
Welcome to the group!

Would love to see a picture of what you have so far. That's a very interesting theme, and I would imagine a 1930's garden would have a lot of native plants, and with the depression going on then, some ornamental veggies as well.
I remember my grandmother's house in a small Ohio town. It had a maple tree in front, with a lilac on one corner. Flower bed in front of the porch. About 3/4 of the back yard was garden. She had apples, strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries. She planted a wide variety of veggies, and always seemed to have something ready to eat. It was a relatively small house and lot.
My grandparents on the other side had a larger lot in a smaller town. They had apples, cherries, both Montmorency and Queen Anne, apricots, plums, peaches, as well as raspberries, strawberries, grapes and rhubarb. They grew almost every kind of veggie I've ever seen, including some that I've never seen anybody else grow. Black Spanish radishes, horseradish, tomatillos, a kind of squash that had such a hard shell you had to open it with an axe. They also kept chickens, and were organic gardeners.
