Hi :-)
I am starting to enjoy this whole gardening and food-growing business, but I think I am driving my friends and family a bit crazy with all of my plans and intentions. That is where you guys come in :-) You'll listen to my wild plans for a productive garden, right? :-) Please?
I am slowly slowly hacking my way through what had become a jungle. The backyard has good bones, I just failed to maintain it, then there was drought and nothing woud grow, then there was dog who offed my tomato plants, and now I am determined to have a good solid food-producing garden within 5 years. 4 really, because I have used most of this one weeding and planting. OK, so 4 years. That is doable, right?
It also has to be pretty with flowers. Partner demands flowers. I have enough trouble keeping green things growing, let alone convincing things to bloom.
Anyway, I hope to learn heaps, and come up with good ways to keep the food coming in the back door :-)
I hear you guys like pictures so I'll leave you with the best flower I have managed all year. It is my guard cactus (it lives by the front door) and this is the very first flower it has given since I've had it :-D Can't eat it, but man it is beautiful :-)
Cheers,
Abbey
