WELCOME TO MY OBSESSION

  Welcome to my obsession!! I decided it needed a blog of its own. A home where I can plan and reflect on this part of of my life. Somewhere in my 40's I lost my way. I became too important to garden . Between raising my daughter and building two eBay businesses , horses ,chickens  and volunteer work there was no time for my my weedy half acre.

   Four  years ago my daughter went to college. As I stared at my weed infested horseless yard it seemed only right that I plant a bit of veges. A smoldering monster began to wake from its sleepy decade long hibernation. Slowly at first .

 Constantly battling demon weeds , it seemed as though the monster would crawl back into its cave. Maybe I would just get a goat.

 Then it happened , that first garden tomato. I was hooked once again. The monster slowly crept out.

Let me introduce you to the space I'm currently building. Yes I said that right, building. It seems I grew tired of the far pen and have branched out to putting a small citrus and avocado orchard along with the winter garden in the other one.

 

Here is the far pen.As you see I have installed new drip line in the main garden. No I have not weeded that area since I pulled out last years summer garden. Notice the neighbors grassy yard. I will discuss more later on my killer weed control system. Thanks goes out to Mother Earth News.

Here's the fruit orchard and berry fence and the first of my Teepees. Oh how I love my Teepees.  Thanks to the city cutting down trees on the side of my property I was left with a huge pile of wood chips. This added fuel to the monster!!









 And last but not least as my husband affectionately calls them, The Babies.

So join me in my adventure. Please don't be shy. I love feedback.
