Asia started off with a single garden bed in her backyard, and over the last three years, she has transformed it into a thriving urban homestead that produces loads of fruit, vegetables, eggs, meat, herbs, and more! She’s also got backyard chickens and quail, a greenhouse, a 2-bin compost system, and rainwater collection.
You can follow and find out more about Asia’s Yellow Door Urban Homestead here:

Asia is growing an abundance of fresh food year-round for herself and her two kids, and she dries, freezes, and preserves a lot of her harvest as well. Some of what she’s growing includes blueberries, peaches, asparagus, squash, tomatoes, beans, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, cantaloupe, onions, watermelon, medicinal plants, herbs like basil, and so much more!
She grows in a mix of raised beds (built with free cinder blocks she snagged online), no dig beds (with compost and free cardboard), in the ground, in bags, and on trellises.
We hope you enjoyed seeing this backyard transformation from a grass lawn to a productive homestead and the abundance of food Asia is growing. Definitely check out her channel to follow along: https://www.youtube.com/@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead

Beautiful
This is what they should be teaching in schools….
My first time on your channel. May I ask what State you are in that you can garden all year? I have lots of trouble with Bine weed also. I live in the Texas Panhandle. We have all 4 seasons here. 117 in the summer -15 below in the winter. Very Arid, very little moisture year round and and extreme winds. You have a very beautiful productive garden. I have had my own garden since I was 10 years old. My Grandfather taught me how to garden. I am now 70 and still continue to garden.
Looks like heaven to me.
Your garden is Beautiful ❤
We will be neighbors in Heaven! I absolutely love you!
