I've tried to get some Nandinas to grow where I can see them from my window, but those things are slow to start, I mean years!

I thought about roping a goat to a tree, but you cant't raise farm animals in town. They will eat anything.
But of course you got to feed it. And clear it's s**t. And house it in the bad weather.
Ah, f**k that. Stupid idea.



I've had goat cheese, which I loved. Of course I was drinking homemade cherry wine .
But it was fantastic.

My place really doesn't have a giant lawn. The road verge has grass, a tree, sand, and pea pebbles.  The last two are for building up area by the street curb after road and curb work that was recently done.
yeah no.

We live on a hobby farm.  Right this minute we are sitting under the trees by a nice fire in the firepit in the front yard;  I guess that'd technically be our lawn.

When we went infor a mortgage the bank considered anything over 2 acres "excessively large lot".  We have 10.24. 

Yes we cut the grass from time to time.  Also have fruit trees (apple, pear, cherry andI want a peach) and berry bushes.  As well as a large vegetable garden.

A few years ago, my mom started hiring some guy to mow my lawn for me pretty cheap, & lately she's been getting what she pays for...

So, I haven't looked behind my detached garage in months, where years ago I tried to start some stuff.....

I just inherited some of my stepdad's yard tools & decided to look back there....
This holly tree I've been cultivating for years is missing.....

Well, after meaning to since late April or early May, I finally got that one milkweed & five fennel plants in the ground....

Not too hard, either; they were starting to get potbound....

Front lawn: Stops directly at the left edge of my house, where arbor vitae separates my house from the neighbors.  The other side stops at the driveway.  Can be a haven for dandelions if I let them grow.  I try to dig them out or give them Round-Up on occasion when I have time.  Buffalo Bills flag on the flagpole.  Smaller and far easier to mow than the side lawn.

Side lawn: Runs along the right side of my house up to the fence, which cuts off to the sidewalk, the neighbors to the right, and the apartment complex to the south.  Grows like a jungle.  I have to leave mulch when I mow-- the bag isn't holding for some reason.  The fence is overdue for another paint job; got a week off next month so I'll probably do it then.

No back yard at all; almost all deck except for the area around my hot tub, which has lava rocks.  The deck needs re-sealing next month; the crap I used recently did not last.
