Scout (Easter Egger), and our first day to ever get 6 eggs. Yowzer wowees!
More soon. Working like crazy in the garden.

I love the arbor, and the eggs look awesome!

Thanks Meems. We're working hard to make the front look good for the neighbors. I never want anyone to think we don't care. Now the backyard is a different story. We use cinderblocks and all sorts of stuff to make beds and it's usually in some sort of disarray.

Your beds look perfect. Nice job!

Thank you for the pictures. Your garden looks great. Wish I had the ambition to make beds like you have.

Mary,
Thanks.

June,
Those beds were made from kits. What I like about them is that there are no nails or screws. They fit together like puzzle pieces with those metal dowels that stick up. I am able to put them together by myself and they are 2-inch thick Portland cedar. Because they aren't screwed/nailed together, if we were to move one day, we would be able to take the beds with us. The other thing that's nice about them is that those metal dowels can be used to create a hoop house.

About Me

My Photo
I'm an almost 50-year-old woman trying to create a more sustainable lifestyle for my family on our less than 1/5th acre urban homestead in south Florida. You're welcome to follow our journey as we attempt to grow as much of our own organic produce as our little yard can take, raise backyard chickens for eggs, compost, and amusement, try to reduce our carbon footprint, learn to preserve food by canning, freezing, and dehydrating, and hopefully turn our little urban homestead into a profitable venture.

About This Blog

My Edible Yard was created in an effort to spur myself on while publicly journaling my trials, errors, and successes in the creation of our urban homestead. The key word here is publicly as I am famous for zealously starting projects and then abandoning them. In making my south Florida urban homesteading experience public, I hope to force myself to continue on with the project and actually create a more sustainable life for my husband and me. So please send kind words of encouragement, gardening and cooking tips to keep me going. They are all much appreciated.
