Perhaps A Garden
I've been thinking very seriously about having a small...make that super small...raised vegetable garden next year. I guess next year would mean planting it in early May '12. Why raised? Because the knees I was given in the middle of the 20th century didn't come with a guarantee and they aren't working these days too well and I can't exchange them. Why super small? Because I'm hoping the neighbors don't notice it because the Home Owner's Association appears to frown on our turning our backyards into farmland. Why a garden at all? Because I used to be a very successful gardener back in the latter part of the 20th century and it's never too late to be the grand farmer I might have been. Also, I've been reading a lot about my 'global footprint', lately, have discovered my own is atrocious and possibly I can do something about that. So, I've been keeping a journal of the shade that our fence casts.
My vision is for the garden to be on the left side of the yard.
Unfortunately, the full sun appears to be mostly on the right side. I guess I can be flexible...even if my knees aren't.
Great Idea..and you have time to plan..and you also can do two..one that needs full sun..and other veggies don't..and think of all the herbs you can grow..plant big flowers..SUNFLOWERS or something along that..and it will hide the fact..that healthy delicious veggies are growing..also too..I know that acorn squash make such pretty flowers...purple..when I used to plant too..oh so many moons ago..Hugs Fran
