Aaron and I have been working hard on our yard since last August to whip it into shape. What was once a jungle of four to six foot tall weeds is now bare ground interspersed with small patches of grass we planted and even larger patches of the weed jungle's offspring. How depressing weeds can be! It took Aaron 4 hours just to mow them down and several days to rototill after that. All that work to make a nice new home for more weeds! But, we built our raised beds and will soon be enjoying fresh veggies (and fruit next year) from our own garden, yay! That baby tree in front is a peach, nectarine, apricot, and plum all on one, interested to see how well that works. :) 
In the first box here are our raspberries and there are two more fruit trees (a peach and a nectarine). Aaron was a bit jealous of his friend in California who boasted of having a grapefruit tree, a lemon tree, and a kumquat tree at his home near San Diego. I think he's intent on getting our "land" to yield it's fruit. :)

Oh, wow! What a lot of work, but it looks/is going to look awesome. I know the raised beds are still empty, but they look cool! I am excited to see how it all turns out for you - what a difference from the first time I saw your yard. We, too, are forming an ambitious gardening plan this year - good luck to us all!
PS - LOVE the blog. Yay!
