My family and I first moved to our home about six years ago. I was excited because I thought that the house had lots of potential for a beautiful garden. It had nice soil and a huge space to work with. The two yards (the front and back) are connected since my house has absolutely no fence. I wish we had a fence to break up the two because our front yard is beautiful. My front yard covered with green grass and has two large dark green bushes that frame the two front windows.
However, I wasn't the only one excited. My family was also wanted to change our unappealing backyard into a forest of many different plants. My grandparents and I visited Home Depot to grab some vibrant flowers for our gardens. We also grabbed vegetables and fruits.
Out of all the places I could have grown my colorful cluster I choose my front yard. In the front there is a little area fenced by bricks in between the two large bushes. The rest of the backyard would go to my Step Dad and Grandpa. They wanted to grow heaps of vegetables and fruits. They wanted to grow these because they wanted to use fresh ingredients when my Grandma cooked. Some of these fruits and vegetables still stay year after year, but sadly some did end up not coming back the next year.
When I used to picture my backyard back then, I used to think that it was gonna be full of life in no time. I though all of our plants would enlarge and give us a great deal of produce. I thought we would be able to sell some of our vibrant products but the amounts have stayed the same throughout the years. A couple here, a few there. As for my grass, it hasn't grown past the front yard. I still have hope that one day the garden will surprise everyone and it will sprout a mass amount of beautiful plants.
