I think I’m green with envy. How much property are you on (for gardening)?

We’ve got about 1.5 acres that we can use for gardening and food production. Some of that is apple/pear trees and various blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries.

My goal this summer (and I’m working on it, really!) is to create a front yard ‘landscaping’ bed with strawberries for groundcover, dwarf fig trees for ‘shrubs’ and the occasional blueberry bush as well. With enough space between to plant some annual flowers and ‘ornamentals’ like eggplants, zucchinis, and pepper plants. I will probably take the easy way out and use the black landscaping stuff for that and cover with normal landscaping mulch of some sort.

I am the kind that will grow corn in the front yard before it’s all over, though. ;)
