It's so sad. My landlord is a serious hoarder and our backyard is basically a junk dump. It's filled with old broken lawnmowers, plastic chairs, and all kinds of rusty crap. He refuses to get rid of it because he claims he might need it some day. If it weren't there, we would have a good-sized backyard for my little brother and sister to play in :sad:
As it is, it's hard for children living in the city. We have to take them to the park down the street, and often there are so many children there that they can't do much or they get bored. Their own grassy backyard to blow bubbles in and splash in a little pool would be nice.
I have also wanted to start a garden for the longest time, and that backyard is large enough that I could have done so in a little corner if it weren't for all the junk. A vegetable and flower hybrid garden, just a few things... but no. Makes me so mad. I suppose I could plant some indoor stuff, but that's not the same at all. You still get to grow something, sure, but there's no being out in the sunshine, no large plot of soil to get down and dirty in, no weeds to pull or bugs to flee from... *sigh*
Or maybe I could do something like this:
