Our side yard had turned into a weed patch in the last couple years… we’ve been a bit busy with Katie and adjusting to being new parents. But this spring it seemed like the right time to get the garden going again. It took some hauling, cleaning, digging, and finally planting but now the our economic victory garden is in the ground.
What’s an economic victory garden? I like to think that it’s hope; hope that by becoming more self-sufficient we’ll be able to get through these tough times with fewer bruises.
They can be any size because they are really more about making positive progress. So even if all you have is a sunny kitchen window you can still have a nice little economic victory garden.
I will finish installing the drip irrigation as I have time over the next few days. I’d also like to replace some of our high maintenance ornamental trees with fruit trees too but I better focus on the dozen projects I’m working on first before adding another. Here’s how it looks with our first few plants. I’ll post more photos as things progress. Photo credit to Julia
