Tried my hand at a vegetable garden in the past, and had miserable luck with it. To be fair, it was in some pretty crummy Maine soil that was full of rocks. Might have more success now though. Just curious what everyone is growing.

What I really want is a yard of just wildflowers. Better for the environment, less effort to maintain, and much more in keeping with my personality. I hate the fully manicured look. Only downside to that is ticks…so many ticks in New England…walking through it would likely be a horror show.

    Oh wow, sounds like you have a thriving ecosystem in your yard! I’m right in the city so can’t commit to no-mowing (there are bylaws about it) but the slow conversion to less maintenance and more enjoyment is a worthy one.
