Remember last year, when we built a little greenhouse to go in our side yard?
When we moved, we had to cut it in half, and we just got it put back together this week. Here it is in our new yard, protecting one of our garden beds:
See why we had to move?
That green patch around the patio is a lawn that my husband planted from seed a month ago. He rented a tiller ($36) and spent about $20 on grass seed. The rest of the yard is really nasty weeds, and he wanted a little area off of the patio where our son could play without getting poked by gnarly weeds. So now we have a little patch of lawn. It’s only taking up a small area of our yard – it looks bigger in the picture than it really is. Most of our yard is devoted to fruit trees and berry bushes, but the area that you can see beyond the grass in the picture will eventually be filled in with garden beds. For now, there are only three, but there are many more to come!

You guys are off to such a great start with the homesteading–can’t wait to see more!

this is so cool. I noticed that you have solar lights in the ground. Could you email me and tell me what kind did you get and from where? I went to Home Depot & Lowes last week trying to figure out which were solid buys.
Your yard is really well on it’s way to greatness. Very impressive.
