Welcome

Welcome to my account of planting on Bull Run Road.

I'm rooting, planting and transplanting, and opening our home up to the land we live on.

Here's my back story:
My husband and I are natives of South Louisiana, having spent the last four years traveling the middle of American for his work. We settled in Norman, Oklahoma, for the longest time. There we bought a home and began living. Soon, our son joined our world, and all was wonderful.
In June 2014 my husband and I took our 14 month old son back to the place we were born. We were given a plot of land cut out of a 17 acre pie shaped lot from my in-laws. My husband was raised on this property with the intention of him and his bother receiving a lot of land to build their homes on.

While we clear the land we will soon inhabit, we are living in the tiniest of rent houses. To keep myself sane and my son happy, we spend lots of time in our spacious backyard. Our rent house is nearly 100 years old; isn't it funny how "way back when" homes were small and yards were big? More on that later.

In the meantime, I'm gathering together the plants for that home we will one day build. I'm also container gardening produce that we intend to eat.

This is blog is my Bull Run Garden's story.
