About My Organic Gardening Blog

I do organic gardening in the suburbs of Detroit. We have a modest ranch home with a modest back yard, which I've sectioned off for veg beds and flower beds, as well as leaving the middle as grass for our dogs. We also have a front yard garden, having smothered all the grass so that it can be all ornamentals and perennials (and a few berry bushes). I like subverting the expectation that all suburban yards need to look the same, despite the fact that our neighbors give us a lot of weird looks.

Why I Started Blogging

My blog is located at http://annearchy.com/blog. I live in suburbia but I’m attempting to subvert things a little by abandoning the concept of the front lawn and by growing my own veggies, herbs, and fruit.

I love Anne's blog -- I'm a huge fan of anyone who has the courage to be a ittle different and rip out that resource-hogging lawn and replace it with something more beneficial and useful!
