As
kightp said, it's time to start thinking about my summer garden. I have a small yard, and because I think that a lawn is a complete waste of resources, this year I'd like to make most of my yard into a ( garden. )
I tend to get rather all or nothing about things. I didn't grow anything last year because the year before that was so dry that the cost of irrigation was huge. ($75/mo) So I've been thinking about this for the last two years; it's not something that I've just decided on a whim. The time commitment is daunting, but I think that once the soil is prepared, the time that I spend day to day with my hands in the soil will have benefits beyond food production.
