The Site(Otherwise known as our backyard)

First up.. the site. So the backyard looks something like this in July of 09.

To the left is the South side of the backyard.











And the North side of the backyard.











The natural choice seemed to be the far end of the south side of the yard. Among other things while the grass in the yard was spotty at best back there it was none existent so that was one less step to developing the garden area. Luckily most of the back yard gets full sun so there was little concern there.







A little closer look at the south side of the yard. As you can see the back is starting to develop some vicious weeds. Sadly I didn't document it but before we got to clearing the area those weeds were about waist high.

However wanting an organic garden we didn't want to use any chemical in that area so we managed to clear it all by hand, with a lot of help from friends and family(basically anyone who had the misfortune to visit in the summer of 09.

However.. it got cleared and will be our garden spot.
