Houston / Zone 9a–9b
Beautiful edible backyards in Houston.
I help suburban homeowners turn ordinary backyards into clean, productive food systems. Use what's already there — the fence, the corner, the patio edge. Grow up, not out. Structure first, plants second.
01
Use what you have
Fence lines, corners, patio edges, side strips. Most yards waste their best growing space.
02
Structure first
Trellises, raised beds, mounted planters, drip routing. Build the bones before the plants.
03
One zone at a time
Skip the homesteader chaos. Build one right. The next one's better because of it.
Real backyard. Real system.
This is what the system actually looks like.
