Video of MyNJGarden.com a residential property, my home, as it develops over the years. I'm inspired by edible landscaping, permaculture techniques and the charm of a traditional cottage garden. When we moved into our home in August 2007 on this 120' x 160' lot, the entire front of the property was landscaped with stones and the back was heavily shaded, full of trees and with no grass at all. English Ivy covered about 1/3 of the back yard along with some naturlized lily of the valley. Since 2009 when we began to plant, we have over 30 fruit trees and shrubs, a keyhole garden, 3 hugelkulture beds, 6 vegetable beds, a strawberry patch, an herb spiral, a composting operation and ornamental, perennial and edible landscaping throughout the property the front, back and side yards.
In winter 2015 we moved to another property less than 5 miles from the old house. on this 1/3 acre, blank slate, the house was new construction and not a single thing had been planted. I'm changing that.
