I envy your progress. I know about the difficulty with older homes. Ours is just a few years older. We have not made the progress we'd hoped as we have a couple of tenants. Structural issues and apartment issues come first. However, like you we are committed to removing every square inch of lawn that we can...saving room for animals and access. I joke that I would love to eventually cut the lawn with a weed eater! We are also committed (or should be) scroungers. While we have purchased specific plants but have also free-sourced or deep-clearanced most. Our goals are to produce food not only for us but also wildlife and to try to provide a bit of the aesthetic. We live in an older, heavily urbanized area. We have had two recent near misses on large hosta collections...finding out the owners threw away splits days after they were hauled away. Sigh. Just heard the same about a small greenhouse. Ah well...patience... it isn't like we have a shortage of other work to complete. I would like to get to the point where I feel less like we live in a construction site. Eyes toward the long view!
Anyway, we love the direction you're going and the execution.Well done!!!
