Watch us reclaim our yard 20 minutes at a time

We decided to reclaim our yard 20 minutes at a time. And here you can track our daily efforts, successes and failures.

Our garden is a mess, nearly destroyed and we have no one to blame but ourselves!

Last Fall, we had a new barn built in our back yard to replace beloved but tottering carriage barn that had been there for at least 80 years. The new structure is fantastic beyond our wildest dreams — but the havoc that construction wreaked upon our garden was beyond our nightmares. I was naive to think a foundation could be dug with stirring up a little dust so to speak.
