I have been reading a wonderful book by Rabbi Arush called Garden of Emunah. That's what this garden is becoming to me. Look a few screens down, and you'll see what the side yard looks like now (and the front, apart from one corner is not much better). Yet the plants and trees are coming, we will start 400 plants in 14 days or less, and must have everything ready for final planting next month. Also, all this work must somehow be done with one day "off" per week and little light during the Winter after work. Yet I know this will all happen. You'll see the pictures when it does.
