Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate reading about your process. We've just put up a greenhouse and are slowly starting to plan what plants to put where. I don't want a huge garden, just enough to be able to harvest a few things to contribute to meals.

There are, of course, plans for a small meadow garden to support pollinators and for beauty, because a garden shouldn't be only practical.

Reading about your adventures encourages me to simply start. Otherwise I get lost in the planning. Thank you.

Sounds like you are well on your way to achieving your dreams. Start simply and keep on building. Learn as you go. Start over when you have to.

Wow, what a job! Learning that it is not only ok to start over but that it is pretty much inevitable was a big step for me, things change over the years & we need to adapt to the changes. Thanks for sharing your process.

That's a beautiful way to look at it. And me too. Being willing to just call it what it was and start over is a life skill for sure. Gardens count for that.
