Raised beds with nutrient-deficient/eroded soil and wildly overgrown, dead tomato plants.
No mulch or additional protection from the winter elements, plus invasive weeds growing in and around the garden area.
(Don't even get me started on how bad the grass was!)
How My First Rasied Bed Garden Ended
Summer 2025
Saying goodbye to my first garden at our old rental house this summer was bittersweet—it’s where my love for tending plants and creating beautiful garden spaces truly took root.
But I’ve always dreamed of having a place of my own, where every detail of the garden setup is in my hands.
My New Home Garden
Summer 2026
This year, my husband and I created two new garden spaces on our property, including:
An in-ground ornamental garden in our front yard,
Plus a new raised-bed vegetable garden in our backyard!
