Yes Misha, Akim does have a bit more land than the usual suburban
backyard. Even when he didn't have his land, he still tried some
large gardens. See this file:

Someday, when Baron Akim gets me the promised pictures (hint, hint
:-) ), I will have a file in the Florilegium describing his current
Cumberland Center. I think that is the current name.
