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? 
Bitches be buildin'

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

I could help you wax on wax off. Paint the fence, sand da floor...
@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.
Very cool! I'm looking to do a garden in the fall/next year as well. Cute dog.
Also I noticed a lack of the sweet sweet cheba.... What's that all about?

I like the area with the cushions on top of the wood pallets. I could see myself making babies there.
Welllll, since you've volunteered, I actually have a new fence going up as I type this, day 4 and should finish today. And then it will need either sealer or stain so come on over, I gots the brushes already
Thanks much!That's pretty cool
Wow, thanks much, that's a huge complement!
I have a 22lb 7 year old black cat that thinks she's a dog, so I grow those too haha
haha, well, the way the biz is growing by leaps and bounds here, you never know, that may get added to the garden at some point
that is awesome! i saw an episode of This Old House where they were doing something like this.
