Tiller of the backyard garden
As I mentioned in a previous post, we have been working on a new garden in a woodland/wetland area of our backyard. Today I rented a roto tiller and tilled up the area. It looks like most of the blackberry bushes I transplanted have survived. Who knows whether or not they will still produce next season. Here are a few pictures, taken today. It was overcast all day, with two tropical storms to the east and west of us. I can't quite capture the full scale of the garden, but it is about 40' x 50'. The neighbors on either side of us mowed down all their wetlands.
This is the "domesticated" backyard. The garden is through the small gate.
I put down a layer of the grassy stuff and tilled it in as well.
It's hard to tell, but this is the row of blackberries.
A view of a few of the neighbors backyards. It used to be a vegetative buffer zone from pine trees (right) to the water (left).
