I’ll give it a try. I’m breaking some new ground this weekend for a bigger garden, hoping I get some rain so the ground is a little softer. Will be a busy weekend, have to clean out the stalls and chicken coop to spread, lay out the weed mats and plant seeds. Will be planting things that improve the soil- deep tap roots and beans/ cowpeas. It’s good soil but compacted since the horses have been on it but it’s sandy so should be easy to loosen up.
The shadier areas are by the pond with trees on the edge. I’ll plant some azaleas and other nice ornamentals there since we are putting a swing, chairs and fire pit there to enjoy. Trying to make my garden more inviting so that we spend more time relaxing and not just working out there.
