In the meantime, here's some pictures I took last summer (wow, it sure was green!) of things I'm inspired by:

Yard projects
This winter hasn't been a particularly tough one in Utah- it has actually kind of felt spring-like from time to time. Even though we just got whacked by a snowstorm, this has seemed more like the exception than the rule, and nothing can stop me from thinking about the cool stuff I just might get around to building for our yard and gardens this year. Every year, we add at least one raised bed, so there's that, and who knows what else we might come up with. What kinds of projects are you interested in building this year? And, even more to the point: how can I help? I am really happy to write blog posts that might help you in exactly this kind of endeavor. Please hit me up with any and all thoughts and suggestions! The best idea will win a signed copy of my new book "Building Projects for the Backyard Farmer", due out in April.

Maybe you could do something along the lines of smaller, more compact projects- for those of us that have little to no yard space, and still want to grow some beautiful, fresh plants and vegetables. I can't wait to follow your awesome ideas!
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah! I have lots of ideas for you KC. What kind of plants do you want to start with this year?
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness- It would be SO nice to get an herb thing going- Wesley loves to cook with fresh herbs! I'm also thinking peppers and tomatoes would be amazing! We started a small thing in the yard last year, but I would love something that could possibly move with us wherever we live.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to build something that would look great as a backdrop for a photoshoot AND produce great veggies/herbs. I have a perfect place behind our garage and I've been inpired by all the trellis ideas I've found on your blog and your Pinterest board. I'm a photographer so having a functional/eye catching backdrop would be a bonus in my garden.
