time is definitely the biggest issue, so right now it’s just a huge list of tiny chores and a dozen container bags for a kitchen garden in an attempt to incrementally move towards some future ideal
I would love the convert the space over to full-on permaculture / food forest / no till, no maintenance / Mediterranean style garden – olive trees along one swale but haven’t thought about rest yet
(and despite this being “No Lawns”, would probably still keep a little patch of grass, clover, and dandelion as a backyard lawn)
Yeah I have pets so I need a green space too
