My name is Becky, and this is my pup, Pearl. We are transforming my not-quite-one-fifth-acre suburban Ohio yard into a self-sustaining, low-maintenance, perennial-focused food forest. The goal is to have a space that yields a diverse abundance of fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms year after year.

This blog is where I’ll document the journey. I will share the successes, failures, experiments, and lessons learned along the way. Whether it flourishes exactly as planned or not, I’m committed to sharing the process honestly and practically.
