That space sat unused for six years. I mowed it, ignored it, felt quietly guilty about it. Then a neighbour asked if he could grow vegetables there and I said yes. Now I get fresh tomatoes every week, and honestly it has been one of the loveliest surprises my home has given me.

My own yard is full of fruit trees. I wanted to try different things: a pollinator meadow, some vegetables. Now I have a few little satellite gardens flourishing nearby and it is the best feeling.
