We have been in this house for about 12 months.  The house had been gardened in the past, but not in several years, it was overgrown, unpruned, and unmaintained.

Our garden is on a hill side, and will take us a while to get back into condition. The vegetables I planted last year were not very healthy, so I know that I need to add lots of soil amendments this year. 

During the winter we pruned back the fruit trees, but they will need another couple of seasons to get back in shape.

We also got a lot of rocks to make retaining walls and starting building terraces for the beds.

It is already looking a LOT better.  We have harvested peas, radishes, broccoli, and lettuce this spring!
