There is almost too much shade in our yard to have a veggie garden. I say almost because, well, we have one anyway. Garlic is doing well. Spinach, lettuce, onions all do well. Carrots do pretty good. Tomatoes and cucumbers are marginal…we get some but our yield isn’t nearly as good as it could be if we had a lot more sun. We have two veggie areas – this one is a raised garden.

Well. Now I have something to aspire to! Mosaics on raised beds?! YES!
Once you have an imagination station, anything goes….next we’re going to mount a whirligig on a flagpole and mosaic the flagpole……
