The winner of July’s Yard of the Month is the home of: Dave M. & Sean Y.

“Somehow years ago I got it into my head that nothing says “I love you” quite like a homegrown tomato.”

“Five years I’ve been doing trial and error in this tiny front yard figuring out how to sow some of that love, and finally it’s paying off! Thank you to all the more experienced gardeners in our neighborhood whose example I’m following and to so many other neighbors for their encouragement as it has slowly taken shape. Thank you to the West End Library for lending me The Sustainable Vegetable Garden by John Jeavons and Carol Cox, and also for Grow Bag Gardening by Kevin Espiritu. Thank you to my husband Sean for steadfastly supporting my gardening madness over the years, even at its messiest. Thank you also to our neighbor Michael W. for co-gardening with me – and to both he and Renata Love Jones for lending us the services of Gracie and Thelonious, the West End’s premier rodent patrol! This garden is for everyone, so don’t be shy – drop by and say hello! ” – Dave
