Garden
I enjoy gardening and yard work. I sometimes call this document site my little digital garden. I met my wife in a History of Landscape Design class while in college. We just started watching Gardeners World and I've got a lot of time outside with Iris. I've always got some kind of yard project going on, so I'm going to leave this page here as a place to make notes.

Notes
24/04/02 - Since Iris has been tearing up and making trails in the yard, I've been thinking about switching out part of it to more wild grasses ( and weeds 😂 ). More of a Laissez-Faire Meadow1 since I manually pick some of the weeds.
23/05/23 - After watching Gardeners' World and realized that I don't know half of the plants that are planted in the beds. I started mapping out our yard to label the tree types, called in a tree guy to look at one of the oaks, ordered new sheers, gloves, and trays.
