Bought my house 4 months ago and have done zero lawn maintenance aside from raking some leaves…

First pic is from September. 2nd pic is today.

Some nice fluffy patches of clover have popped up. I raked up the leaves in fall and left them in piles, and also put some in a make shift leaf mold bin.

Gonna attempt to turn the backyard into a food forest. The house had a pool that was filled in last year, which I am excited to use as a vegetable garden, but I need to do a soil test first. Excited for what's to come!
