So I am the Poor Man, I live in zone 7b and am a big believer in not doing a damn thing extra beyond what is needed to keep the food rolling and the time occupied ie looks, fanciness and all that jazz is not my bag, man. ;)  So yeah there will be a weed here and there through out the journey, but is just the nature of the game at hand. I have decided t do this with pictures as it seems best over all. Now without further ado:

The Poor Man Hesself! (note the happy mood and up standing look about him.)

So now that we have that out of the way. Here is my front yard patch.

Some lettuce, spinach and chard. Bolted early because of very hot May weather.

Same again, except in the background those are peas. Very nice Cascadia I believe is the cultivar.

Collards, some kale, cabbage, and those things sticking up are raddishs which I use as ground breakers, and grow back from heirloom seeds, year on end.

Note the patented 'Poor Man's black tarp Week Killing Method(r)': 100% guaranteed(tm) and it comes with a free used tire for 20 dollars extra ... ;) Oh and there are some more cabbages here.

When you don't want to own a cat; yet you don't want rats; there is always Kitty Crack aka Catnip. No worries, never see rat one. The cats associate killing mice with getting loaded.

Some mixed Corn mostly Kandy Korn, along the edge there is some Chamomile.

Some more corn, and some Amaranth, also pole beans.

Poles again, those are hand split by the Poor Man himself, from a log that his grandpa put on the ground almost 35 years ago. Cedar poles are an invaluable investment and last for decades, even in the North West. Also you will notice if you look that under the beans there are cucumbers.

Potatoes, are cheap and easy to grow.

Zucchinis

Squash

Here we see the whole mound from back a ways, the black plastic keep the weeds down and helps keep the roots warmer in the early Spring months.

The Corn and Pole beans from further back

Tansy: Note that Tansy causes abortions in Mammal females. However it is a good tea if you are in great pain ... just saying.

Some tomatoes that will grow up and be tied onto the fence behind them.

Same from different angle.

Tobacco.  I figured: WTF? I don't even smoke but I will gladly give it away to spite the corporations and the government at a go!

Same.

Some more peas.

Potato patch. Reds.

Flowerbed. On North Side of house.

Hops

Tomatoes and a cold frame.

Flowers of all types.

A bit closer look at the flowers.

 From here I will be updating with pictures every couple of weeks until Fall, because I have the mind to do so frankly. With that: Have a good time.
