We have eaten the black-eyed peas, collards, and cornbread, and they were good. My husband also finally agreed that I should eliminate 10 bushes in the back yard. In April they are pretty, loaded with lipstick-red blooms. The rest of the year they are fragile, brittle, half-leafless twigs that shelter poison ivy and look miserable. So sunny days between now and planting time, I'll be out there with a hacksaw and pick, whooping it up. That will give me 88 more square feet of planting space, for a total (I measured it out carefully today) of 279 square feet. Above are the tentative plans. Life is good, and I may build some bone mass hacking out the bushes and roots. Woohoo!
