About

This is a blog about a yard east of I-35 in Austin, Texas, which sits on land that was once Blackland Prairie. When settlers came, it became a farm. In the 1950s, it became a neighborhood, but the soil is still plentiful clay. Here, we'll try to keep track of our successes and failures as we grow plants, build paths and patios, and make food from the earth.
