Sounds like you're doing well!
My neighbor or I think her son, took back some of her land which I had part of my garden. She wanted to restore the former boundary, which I immediately disputed. I removed all the fencing, removed the raised beds, and flower pots. A surveyor showed up after three days and marked off the boundary. Yup, I was correct. I had built and maintained a rose garden for her, so this year the roses will get just one bloom and the weeds are towering. I'm too busy building a new garden. Welcome to the new America....
Once the beds fill in with growth, I will update with garden pictures.
I met a guy who was raised on an orchard and farm. I gave him four aronia bushes, a mulberry bush, and a stone boundary that I built up over 40 years. I needed the room for that aforementioned new garden. In return, this guy will teach me how to preserve my tomatoes and other veggies at harvest. I should have learned decades ago, so this is the big year.
Due to the pandemic last year, I worked hard, got in shape, and lost 33 pounds. No coffee shops meant no desserts....
I eat very well and walk a lot, as I don't drive.
I will do anything to stay away from Big Pharma through my lifestyle and diet.
