Raised Vegetable beds
Thoughts on transforming a suburban yard into edible and ornamental landscaping
Welcome to the Mulch Manor Backyard Farm Blog
Gardening and blogging are new experiences for me and I hope you'll enjoy the "growth". My plan is to describe the transformation of our suburban Florida yard into an organic, edible and ornamental landscape. It's ever-changing, rewarding, and challenging. I welcome your comments.

Raised Vegetable beds
Had to laugh... why do neighbor's think they have a right to decide what's beautiful enough for your own yard? Our neighbors love our animals... all but one who tried to insist that this was a residential area and my husband had to show him the zoning laws where it is clearly zoned agricultural. Its not our fault you're feeding your acre and not letting it feed you! Keep the mulch manor and be encouraged... lots of people will soon be coming to you for advice. :->
ReplyDeletePatsy, Your garden is beautiful! You did so much in such a short time. We're also retired and have been in Gainesville since the 1950s. I've had great success with raised beds for the past few years. Now my plan is similar to yours so I was encouraged by your blog and photos. I'm up to the mulch stage and wonder what kind of mulch you chose? We also bought plants from Abundant Edible Landscapes and especially like all the perennials they have to offer. Keep having fun!
