My yard isn't that big. It's a standard sized residential lot (80 feet x 125 feet). But the house takes up much of that space. Though our house isn't really that big. I don't know. I have a wide backyard and have put garden beds along the backyard privacy fence. That's where I have most of my plants. But most are in containers though, so it's not a lush garden. My plan is to get rid of all the grass/weeds in the backyard and have flower beds and paths in place of grass. I want to use every single piece of space! LOL! My dh likes that idea as he won't have to mow the yard anymore! LOL!
