I’m a long-time gardener who has been using permaculture for the last 15 years or so. I like having the gardens work with nature instead of against her. I use all organic methods because of my children, the earth and myself.

Our land is 2.5 acres. The outskirts are left wild. The front yard is a blur of wildflowers and weeds. The back/side yard has a play area for the children, an apple tree, and raised beds created from straw bales.

My Garden Goals
-——————

  • Build a greenhouse!
  • Create a patio area in the backyard
  • Install grassy area adjacent to backyard
  • Increase play area to include swings
  • Provide most, if not all, of the vegetables we eat
  • Learn, Live, Laugh, Grow
