Kyla, I started with one perennial bed in 2007 where I had removed a lot of brush and weeds and didn't want it all to grow back. I now have very little lawn left - gardens all along the west side of my yard, all along the south side, covering all but a little strip of the east side, covering both sides of the hill on my corner, and all across the front. Since I have run out of room in my yard, I am now helping friends and neighbors put garden in their yards. It all started so innocently, and might now qualify as an illness....
