Our backyard is full of huge, tall, leafy (really leafy) trees (not anything you would ever see in Utah - these babies are tall and did I mention, leafy?). This was one of the things that really caught our eye when we decided to buy this place. We loved the backyard with all its shade and leafiness.
Then fall came and we had to remove all those leaves.
Then spring came and we had no sunshine for a garden.
I've never been successful at growing things. I need all the benefits I can get and too much shade hasn't helped my attempts at gardening.
Enter the hero of our story: Brother Price. He is an awesome guy. Our first home teacher here and also one of the instrumental people in convincing Phil how very much he needed me. He has offered us some space near our house (behind his dental office). He also happens to be an awesome gardener.
I have a good feeling about our prospect this year. We might actually grow something edible!
Here is where I need your help.
Question 1: should I plant:
A) seeds.
B) purchased plants
C) plants I have sprouted in my kitchen
Question 2: what should I plant?
Question 3: from where should I purchase my seeds/plants?
Question 4: what great advice do you have for me?
I am so looking forward to this project! Yippee! Fresh veggies are coming my way!
