@parus I think I am going to order a raised bed garden from Costco, that is 4'x4', with a center receptacle for composting stuff. Never thought of youtube, thanks for that tip! Now to figure out where in the yard will be best for setting up that raised bed. We have an area that gets full sun since we cut the cedar trees down, another area that gets partial shade because the huge/tall trees in empty lot next door shade a big area, and another area that is mostly shade.
@jimhd I am following your gardening progress, since we share the same state. Today we expect showers later today. Yesterday i pulled a bucket of weeds from the area next to sidewalk. Like you, I wish the deer would find some of these weeds tasty. Hmm, maybe we need to rent a goat?!
