Garden of Eating

This is before.

As you can see, I have a huge, dead backyard that needs a lot of love. We picked those children up at Home Depot. They were cheap. They work for hotdogs and ice cream bars.

This is after the weekend

Obviously a work in progress. However, we raked, weeded, tilled and watered. The hard part is done.

We are also growing herbs from seed. This excites me beyond belief. I can't wait to ask Cole to pick me some basil from the garden the next time I make spaghetti sauce.

Urban Herbs: Basil and mint sprucing up cement and a valve.
