Any portion of the yard that gets full sun all day long is now growing something other than grass. Grass is a taker, not a giver.
I spent six hours in the backyard gardening yesterday. Good times! It feels fantastic having a garden established once again. We are counting down the days until we can eat a freshly picked tomato like an apple.
