North Gardens (Zone 2)
Our front side yard went from useless lawn to a black raspberry orchard, complete with numerous herbs, fruit bushes and trees, and perennials.  All grown from a base of animal manured hay and shavings from our farm animals, dead leaves and wood, and rich compost!  And a greenhouse was added fall of 2020.  See photos below.

Before - lots of lawn to mow!

After: black raspberries, oregano, perennials, and more!

We propagated over 60 black raspberry plants last summer - such a simple process and basically free!

Approximately 200ft long/8-12ft wide hugelkultur bed with various herbs, perennials, honey berries, currents, gooseberries, grapes, hops, walking onions, cranberries, elderberries, black raspberries, strawberries, thyme and other ground covers with overstory trees of english walnut, apple, pears, basswood, linden berry, elm and others.

We planted oregano between all black raspberry plants to attract pollinators! We will also have lots of oregano to dry and jar for winter soups and recipes!

And a new greenhouse this past fall!

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and few find it.  Matthew 7:13-14
