I will have to look up where Marshall is.
awesome on the acreage ..
got any outbuildings ? must have at least a chicken coop..
we had 10 acres but sold 1 1/2 acres for someone to build a house..
we use only about 2 acres of it for our yard.
some is riverbottom woods and a neighbor plants crops of a few acres that adjoins his land..

There's a small barn type thing with chickens on one half, and a wood-heated workshop on the other. I want to say it's about 80ftx15ft? My partner is super excited about the workshop because he'll finally be able to work on things! I'm excited because I finally get a studio in the house too. Neither of us have to move things around to make projects or put stuff away in the middle of them.

There's also a quonset, but there aren't doors on it, it's open to the elements. There's also a old corncrib that they've converted for turkeys.

Hope it works out for you kee…..sounds like it's way better than where you are....yep, some folks get really anal with cutting grass, spraying for weeds and keeping things from growing...poor nature sure can't survive long if everyone had that attitude. I love milkweeds, goldenrod, wild asters etc.... let em grow. The bees need the wildflowers too.

I don't have those kinds of weeds. I have burdock and some sort of vine we call wild cucumber and other sith plants.. I don't fertilize or spray for anything.. but I do like the lawn to look nice..
I have no need for hay ..
to each his own..

It wasn't meant at you Jim....cut all the grass you like.

Same here--I was just sad about your elderberry bush, and angry about our cultivated plants! We even put in a rock border, and filled with woodchips, but we get a new landscape guy every week and every week....

Maybe you need to put up signs identifying the plants or cute garden signs or something just to let them know that it is a garden area.
OR maybe the landlord doesn't want a garden area there ... Sis you get permission to put in a garden before you did all that work?

 

[ParkfieldFarm]

Yep, we got permission! They don't mind much what we do as long as it's presentable. We actually do have signs, but they contract out the landscaping and the last time I went out yelling for the guy to stop trimming our garlic...he looked a little nervous and lost because he didn't speak English.
