Backyard Farmin'

Besides the fact that we live with a pig (Thomas, not Chris...hardy, har, har), nothing about our yard lends itself to gardening....

or does it?

Once we got the building and the pig pen straightened out (and cleaned the debris out of the yard), we were able to add beautiful raised beds. One bed is made of cedar and the other is stacked stone. Now, I do not grow things. I have a cactus that is still alive after two months and we are quite happy together. Chris is the gardener. He has planted herbs, tomatoes, strawberries and all kinds of other delicious things.

The Cedar Bed: home to strawberries and other yummy things.




 

The Compost Bin, made of recycled pallets. This bin is home to anything organic that Thomas won't eat.
