    The perfect family garden – in constant motion. Love it!

    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!

    The garden is wonderful. The tarp unloader from the pick up! I absolutely need this for my gardening. Thank you for that great idea.

    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.

    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

    Can empty a pickup truck bed in 2 hours??? With a shovel that’s only an hour of work… DAMN or maybe it’s cause I’m a 6foot two German dude

    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

    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.

  29. Sunnyside Upstairs on September 1, 2021 at 1:19 am

    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.

    DAI has some great products that will enrich your soils with nutrients starting at the roots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIprZmVw0yU



  35. Doris A on September 1, 2021 at 1:30 am

    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.



  36. San Antonio Gardening on September 1, 2021 at 1:30 am

    Yes, well spoken.



  37. These Days on September 1, 2021 at 1:30 am

    What an awesome story! I’m a novice gardener in Austin 😊
