This is what my yard looked like when I first moved into my new place.
We moved into a house. I can not say that the people who lived here before us took good care of the place. The yard was a mess. My lawnmower died and could not be replaced before we moved. I still do not have one and I really do not a place for a lawnmower if I get one. Our backyard was so overgrown that it would have killed a lawnmower, anyway.
It took me a whole month to clean the yard and pull all weeds out of the ground. There was poison ivy everywhere. It has even grown in the walls house itself. I did it all by hand. I did my best to get rid of as much of it as I could. For now, the place looks a lot better than it did when we moved in. It still needs a lot of work. It will take a lot of time and money to get the place, the way I want it.
This is my yard now. I pulled all the weeds by hand, myself.
One lesson that I have learned from all of this, is that everything can’t get done at once. It will take time. I have to give myself the time to get things done. I love the house. It’s the perfect place for my family. And, I get a strong feeling that we were meant to be here. By moving here, we have changed things for the better. It will take time to see results, that’s all.

I also have a garden and I know how much work there is with the garden. Your garden is beautiful now.
Thank-you so much. It is coming up on winter here So nothing will be growing for some time.
There is an old saying that something good certainly requires effort. But it is indeed that the backyard looks very heavy to handle, and I am sure, one day, as soon as possible, you will enjoy your efforts.
I will definitely see that it becomes a beautiful garden.
My plan is to have a garden next year.

That was a lot of work. You’re right that we can’t do everything at once but we should start somewhere.
There is always a place to start. Thank-you for reading.
