This blog will serve as a running diary of my current hobby: gardening-slash-yardwork. I've always enjoyed the idea of gardening, but until recently my living arrangements have not afforded me much opportunity. Now I am diving headfirst into it.
My wife and I are new homeowners, and we are having fun getting the yard into the state that we want. Our general idea is to keep things fairly low-water and "productive", in the sense of bearing lots of fruit and veggies for hopefully minimal effort (we don't have much time to spend hours in the yard!)
When we bought the house, the front and back yards were in decent shape, but a bit sparse. We have an amazing apple tree in the front yard that bears three different kinds of apple (we call it the "triple apple"), and two citrus trees in the back. These trees are a bit odd: one is a lime tree that produces yellow limes, the other is a lemon tree that produces orange lemons! Both front and back yards have automatic drip irrigation systems, without which my gardening efforts would be a complete non-starter.
