I am so excited that my neighbor Elisabeth Thibodeau (Liz) and I are going to yardshare this year! I have a big veggie garden area, a greenhouse, 4 old growth grapes, a bunch of raspberries, 4 blueberry shrubs, 2 plum trees, two apples and one pear.
I was so busy last summer that it was a struggle to manage the whole site. My garden space and her back yard back up to each other. She can come through her fence and right into the garden.
Today, we explored all of our seeds, created a planting guide and planned to meet in the greenhouse to start seeds on Tuesday. Very exciting!
Are you yardsharing? What's it like for you?

I'm a member of a CSA (community supported agriculture) where we all pitch in to help raise produce on a farm and they get a split on the harvest. It's really great!
I was thinking about asking my boyfriend's mom if I could garden down there- she has a huge area to work with. Or I thought of trying some container gardening.
I don't live at the beach. We've lived in this house for three years and all of our neighbors have told us just to be patient...it's very hard to get a good yard of grass growing. We had a decent one for part of last year, then the drought started. Thanks for your invitation to connect.
Although I relish the alone time I have in the garden, the friendship and help are awesome, too!
I put a hoophouse up and we are starting seeds. The "faux spring" we experienced in February was a great motivator but this morning it's 37 and snow all around the surrounding mountains.
We have a seed share going on right now and hope that people will sign up as 'seed angels' to help newbie gardeners get going. I mailed out enough of my extra seeds for five full vegetable gardens yesterday!
I hope you will consider joining us and becoming a seed angel! Or maybe you would like to find someone who will send you a garden in the mail!
Take care,
LizM
