For me, the best part of owning this new house of ours is having a garden. We bought the place knowing that it needed a lot of work, including a backyard pool to remove. This became our first priority over nearly everything else as I had this burning desire, after all of the transition, to literally root ourselves to the land. Our five garden beds provided all of our vegetables over the summer: sweet and hot peppers, kale, chard, kohlrabi, endive, lettuce, eggplant, and squash. What a joy it has been to feed our family from our own backyard.
