I live in the Pacific Northwest. So we get 4 seasons. I like that. I get tired of it all. But mainly lost of work here with new growth. I just do a project a year. The when its all done the Boss has me rip it all out and replace everything  |
I was just going to ask what part of the country you live in. Now I know why it looks so lush in your pics! I buy plants that are specific for the desert. Even the tomato variety I got is supposed to love the heat. Everyday I go out there in the noontime sun it's all soft and wilty. Then comes back when it cools down. It's not even hot here yet. Hardly in the high 80s/low 90s. That is nothing compared to what we will get. I got lots of tomatoes last year.
My garden bed has soil from the nursery, not our crappy native soil. The guys we had do our backyard put in that soil but I don't think it's the best. Maybe I need to change out the soil. I've also been thinking about composting but I don't know where I'd put the bucket. Like I said our yard is tiny.
