This has been my life the past 2 months. If I'm not sleeping or working, I'm putting in hours trying to make this house a home and I'm obsessed with gardening and now with building things apparently. Who'da thunk it? image_1.jpeg image_2.jpeg image_4.jpeg image_6.jpeg image_3.jpeg image_5.jpeg image.jpeg

I need to dig up the before pics from when I got here last July. It was basically an overgrown wasteland to the tenth power. Seeing the pics of all this reminds me of how much hard work it's been but I'm loving it.

I have like 6 or 7 varieties of tomatoes, 2-3 kinds of zucchini, 3 kinds of cucumbers, 6 or 7 varieties of greens, snow peas, lots of herbs, goji berries, 3 kinds of peppers, canteloupe 2 kinds of watermelon, beets. I think that's it so far lol. We'll see how I go, first time really doing a big veggie garden like this. Attempted a small one a few years back, epic failure lol. I'm putting in the research and work this time to at least hopefully get some good food out of it this summer. I'll be learning how to preserve later this summer. I have 2 apple trees that produce a lot of fruit too.

Ha, I didn't take it that way but, I really don't have a life.... coming up on a year here and still haven't quite got my feet out and about, been working so hard on this house and now the yard. I feel like I'm getting to a point though where most of the catch up hard work is done and soon it'll just be maintenance so I can start getting out into the world again and have more of a balance :)

girlandcoconut @girlandcoconut , nice work, in all honesty you could make a fortune developing gardens in the UK..............and people (not me) love gardening over here, are very good at it, but you would be able to teach them a few things.

I like the area with the cushions on top of the wood pallets. I could see myself making babies there.
