Tried my hand at a vegetable garden in the past, and had miserable luck with it. To be fair, it was in some pretty crummy Maine soil that was full of rocks. Might have more success now though. Just curious what everyone is growing.
What I really want is a yard of just wildflowers. Better for the environment, less effort to maintain, and much more in keeping with my personality. I hate the fully manicured look. Only downside to that is ticks…so many ticks in New England…walking through it would likely be a horror show.
Pretty much exclusively food! Right now I am growing strawberries, snap peas, bush beans, and potatoes. Just put in some blueberry bushes too, but those will take a few years to get up and running. Hoping to try my hand at winter wheat come fall.
You just reminded me that I bought snap peas the other day and now I need to go eat them before I forget again and they go bad -_-
