Do you grow food, flowers, or both? (ash1-lem-i1-u4829.vm.elestio.app)

Curious what the breakdown is for folks.

I'd like to transform my yard into wildflowers and tall grasses, like a meadow. That'd be cool, I think. Also better for bees and the environment.

I don't think I have the energy to invest in growing anything that requires care and patience, so a wildflower yard kinda thing would really align with the level of time I'd be able to put into it. Ah, but ticks really suck, and they're everywhere here in New England, so I think if I did that, the yard would become unwalkable :*(

Did food last year and ended up with waaaay too much lol. This year we're focusing on native grasses and flowers.

If you're worried about it becoming unwalkable you could put a little work into making paths throughout. Either just by mowing a little walkway or putting large brick pavers down here and there.

How big is your yard?
