It was so sunny yesterday that I had a tough time with the pictures. It got 99 out and a record was set.

Its been a good 12 years since I have had space for a vegetable garden. My garden space is shaded by that shed to the south and my house to the east. It finally gets full sun after noon.The ground is rocky as if it had been a parking lot in the past or if they used road mix to fill it.

It was covered end to end with the former owner's grass clippings and I added another 4 feet of fall leaves. I planted the edges after I picked out 2 five gallon buckets of 1" rocks. I still have compost composting in the center.

I should try another picture today, now that we are cloud covered and expecting thunder storms.

I'm not great wth the picture posting libodem Jun 2015 #1
