Gaidig's Backyard garden

Garden Type: Backyard | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

We have been concentrating on raising vegetables, and our back yard has been quite neglected in the process. It was nothing more than a lawn with a tangle of plants on the edges to start with, and some of that is really a mess! We’ve been clearing a lot of that out.

Our raised bed is located here.
