    Love this! A REAL garden by a REAL person with an actual budget. Beautiful.

    Thank you for showcasing an “everyday” person’s type of yard. This inspires me to just start even though I don’t have a big budget.

      It's a great idea if you get your seeds from your own food. Pumpkins, peppers, garlic, onions. Eggs cartons for your seedlings are good. Happy gardening.

      The dollar store has seeds for 25cents a pack...Migardener has them online for 99cents a pack. I don't have a big budget either. You just have to be creative like she said. I find gardens like this much more interesting than one that looks like it was done by a professional landscaper. Just have fun! 😊

    Oh my, It makes me so happy to see someone that truly loves to garden. Especially when a individual go through the proper research for not just the garden, but the insects and pollinating plants. Thanks so much for sharing. Bless her heart and her family.

    Kristen has expressed the exact same feelings that most people who had never gardened before, discover upon slowly becoming very passionate about their new hobby for a multitude of reasons & a long list of the benefits to themselves &/or their family & friends!
    How nice to see that another person/family has discovered the simple, though very hard work, of gardening!!

    100% can relate. Our yard has to balance space for kids, pets and garden last. But I spend 70% of my free time on the garden. Doing exactly as she has. So nice to hear her story. Keep growing

    Kristen is an inspiration. Especially liked when she was talking about all the stories. It’s all a process of learning, not a declaration of inability. If the arbor didn’t work here or failed to function well there, let’s try it over here or use it as a trellis there. Most important lesson: good soil is the key! Thanks for reviving me into Spring!

    Have you tried zoodles or making your own sprouts? Two super fun easy things to add to your garden party❣️🤗 I didn’t think I would like zoodles, but fresh zucchini noodles are pretty darn yummy. I added a little spinach, some sprouts and a few nuts to my first salad to try it. So packed with nutrients. I love ur fun garden & the kiddos being right there❣️🤗 God bless❣️🤗

    I love this feature! So many points she made resonated with me, as I feel so similarly about DIY gardending and landscaping. I especially agree with inspiring vs. impressing and how gardening is a constantly changing, living creativity challenge. Thank you for sharing.

      Yes! I love when gardeners inspire others. The more people you get into gardening the more this way of life thrives. I wish everyone would start a garden even if it’s just a small one.

    This is the same thing I have been doing for the past 8 years. Not so serious until about 3 years ago. But now I landscape my entire lot with only edible plants or plants with a purpose that can be used not only to eat, but to help nature and bring in beneficial insects. I also make little perches and places that bring the birds in. Believe it on not. Birds are not too damaging to my crops and they poo to help the soil. I even have many bird friends, from black birds to humming birds that come every year. Its amazing becoming a part of nature. I feel even insect have more of a intellect than we give them credit for. The bumble bees even know who I am and we all work together ion the plants and I have not been stung by them or all the bees and wasps . They tend to know you and what you're doing. They do give warnings sometimes and if you pay attention and listen, back off, they go back to doing what they do. And all the organic food is the other payoff. Its sad too many people learned to kill of nature instead of learning to live with them.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story I now feel inspired to go at least attempt my Indiana version i.e. using couple claimant zones north take plants but the same philosophy that you use to take care of your family I wish now because of you to attempt to provide for my family. Before I digress thank you very much

    Very nice, love that you have created space for everyone, flowers for wildlife, food for your family and space for your dog to play. I had a question and is about the grass. Do you have Bermuda grass? I do, and have been discouraged of planting anything because of it. I have tried to eliminate the grass but it has been almost impossible.

    I don't believe you are a environmentalist but a conservationists. There is a stark difference. Conservationists utilized the land for sustainable use of people and animals.
    Environmentalists believe people are the problem in regard to the use of land.
