We moved into our house in May of 2019 and while I do love the inside, I really the love large backyard with plenty of room in grow things! The house came with a disintegrating raised bed which I pulled apart and reset into two smaller raised beds. Then I got started sheet mulching 6 new in ground beds as a “phase one” project. Asa has declared that he wants some of the lawn to play games on so we’ll see what the final compromise looks like!
What isn’t pictured is another section of our backyard that came with 4 apple trees, a blueberry bush, grapes, and a border of blackberries (Himalayan, but I’m cool with them being a natural edge to the space.) . There were remnants of raised beds as well, but they are so overgrown with invasive weeds and in a shadier spot than I’d prefer, so we’ll see what happens to them. It may be where we put our chicken coop!
