Is My Ugly Garden missing something?

The end draws nigh my friends. Sounds ominous, doesn't it?

Well, with autumn just around the corner, I think I have all my bases covered when it comes to My Ugly Garden. Let me reiterate, I think...

With what I have deemed The Great Reveal coming next week (gasps heard round the world in anticipation), I felt I should ask if any readers think I might be missing out on something. Yep, I am looking for feedback, and you haven't even seen the yard yet!

It's easy really. I had two specific things in mind when I ventured into this: purpose and content.

It's a small space, so that has limited me in what I could do. But am I missing something that you think might be a sheer necessity in a yard?

The purpose of the yard: an environmentally friendly space for me and my family and place for Wendel the pooch to do his stuff.

The content of the yard: plants (like I had to type it), vegetable garden, ground cover, fence and the assorted accoutrements any backyard needs, such as seating and a place to cook.

I feel as if perhaps my brain has lapsed and I have not considered everything. It isn't a good feeling that, at 35-years-old, I might be losing my brain cells — though not because of toxic chemicals in M.U.G.!

For that reason, I give a second-to-last-shout-out to all who have been reading, or who have just come across My Ugly Garden. Am I missing something?
