Plant Nations

I have now achieved a luxuriant growth of chard.  This happened because each year I built the thin soil in my rocky, shady garden bed.  All that compost, manure, and straw has begun to make a difference.

Because I live in the woods and my site has shade moving across it throughout the day, I concentrate on growing greens there, and put the super sun lovers in at my mother’s house.  Some sun lovers are doing pretty well in my garden, however.  I have some pretty happy herbs, and yearly tomato volunteers.
