When we moved into our house, the yard hadn't been taken care of for about a year. As a result, our yard hasn't quite reached the "looks nice" stage because it's still in the "being reclaimed" stages. It used to look crazy; now it looks a little less so. Here are some pictures! We still have a ways to go, but we're really happy with how much progress we've made so far.

So, you can see we have a lot of weeds on the outskirts, but check out that grass! Green! |

We're growing strawberries in the holes, and we haven't put anything in the actual bed yet. Baby steps. |

This picture is a couple months old. These (and other) weeds are currently my height. |

Check out these massive green onions! The paring knife is in the picture for scale. We left these onions in the ground over the winter, and this is how I picked them in the spring. Nice! |

It looks so nice! And I love the green onions. I planted mine from seed. They're about 3 inches tall.
I need to send you some seeds for those round, yellow cucumbers. That would make your garden look TERRIFIC!!
