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.
I forgot to mention, I don’t keep a mono culture lawn either. My lawn is a mix of grass, clovers, wild strawberry, violets, dandelion, buttercups, and quite a few other flowers that come and go. I always mow the lawn quite tall so that I don’t knock down too many of the clover flowers.
