The Accidental Garden

This is the third weekend in a row that we have been out in the front and back yard with clippers, electric trimmer, hand saw, pick axe and shovel.

We have pruned, weeded, trimmed, dug and planted.

All in anticipation of a pretty yard and luscious vegetable garden this summer.

So it is disheartening to find that the most vibrant area on our property is in a strip of dirt next to the garbage cans on the side of the house.

Any area that receives no deliberate water….
