About me: . I am a musician. And when I'm not playing the drums I'm playing in the dirt. I am building my clay soil through wood chips and composting. That takes time. So I have been picking up mulch from the city and last year I laid down a strip across the front border of my property and stuck as many things as I could in there.

I have a bee hive and they survived the winter!! I'm excited to see what they think of all the work I've been doing to feed them lol. I have a friend that has over 20 hives and I convinced him to turn his back yard into a bee Buffett. So I'll be setting him up this year.

I have mulched about 1/3 of the tree lawn (so far) and that is where I put some of the pretty, ivansive plants.

Im just discovering the world of hardy/perennial and self seeding vegetables.

(Sorrel and arugula are on my watch list)

It all started bc I didn't want to mow my lawn but my passion for giving plants a life in my Yarden has beecome so much more...fruitful.
