When you move into a house, people seem super interested in "what you are going to do to the place?" We are pretty pumped about the fact that the house doesn't really need anything. We painted some walls for esthetic reasons. But nothing is breaking.
However, the out side parts of the house are going to need some help. There are some big, established plants around, which I am excited to watch transform into whatever the turn into. Will that tree out the kitchen window blossom? I'm starting to see some tiny buds on things, which will be exciting as the spring develops. But, I don't see any sign of bulbs, so I am loking forward to putting those in.
I'm also looking forward to adding a raised bed to the back for veggies. I'm not really sure how that works though, so I need to learn about it. I also am looking forward to having a worm bin, so I should probably get that build too. Dad doesn't seem to understand my interest in using reclaimed lumber for these projects. Sure, it is harder to find than a tree currently standing in the woods, but I like the idea of giving a second life to lumber, and garden projects can be forgiving in their dimensions.
I'm also collecting idea for brainlessly easy things to cultivate in the Seattle summer. I'm thinking peas/beans and some herbs. If this goes well, we can try more in the future. This is just the first little baby step in transforming the yard though.
