The Canvas

In this post, I am going to give you an idea of what i'm working with.  Below are photos of the yard. It is quite overgrown and has remnant of a failed attempt at gardening... (don't judge), but now things are going to be more gracious in this yard. Please remember that all this is taking place on the island of Antigua in the tropical Caribbean climate.  So here goes. 

This is the right side of the front of the yard. The plan is to pave the drive way with some concrete. 

And this is the left side of the front of the yard.. As you can see we already have some okras and sorrel growing. My plan is to replace this with some roses and other shrubs and some perennials and annuals. 

This is the right wing of the house and as you can see there are already a few boxes with some stuff in there. This is where I will be growing all the vegetables. We have a compost bin way in the back. I will also be erecting (lol) a little greenhouse which will be made with pvc pipes. And in the future we are thinking of building a gazebo to put the table and chairs. Coool. Right?

This is the left wing of the house, it's super sunny on this side... I mean really brutally hot. My plans for this side is to put some hedging to the fence. and I will also be putting a succulent garden on this side with a few herbs and stuff.  I forgot to include a pic of the back of the house which is where all the fruit trees are. I'll upload that at a latter date. 


Blessings.
