One Hundred Dollars a Month

Yesterday, after pulling all the dirt away from the fence, like you suggested I started another project.

One of the things I would like to concentrate on next year, is making my backyard more appealing, more put together, like I had a master plan from the get go {which I clearly did not have}. I’m thinking this will achieve 2 things.

1. Make the Handsome Husband happy. If the garden looks well put together maybe he’ll stop talking about wanting to sell the house and move to a condo {like he’s been saying ever since we’ve had a yard of our own}.

2.  If I can give the garden a complete overhaul this winter, I’ll have all my ducks in a row when it’s time to start planting in the Spring again. Then all I’ll have to worry about is planting, harvesting, and maintaining the garden.  No major projects to tackle, just major fun.

I think the best way to go about this is a series of {20 million} little projects.

So now that I have decided to grow squash along the fence {to the right in the picture, what do you think I should plant under the pear trees? We are talking about {2} 6 foot circles of planting space.

Do you like the idea of planting more squash around the perimeter of the circles and flowers in the center?  Or do you think something else would look better.

Help!
