Is shade gardening easier than sun gardening?   I think it is&#8230; but I guess it depends on what sort of shade garden you have.   That&#8217;s not to say that I think shade gardening is easy.   It still takes planning and arranging and tending and rearranging.  Soil still has to fit the plants.  Mulch needs to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our biggest worry with square foot gardening was that things would be too crowded, too shaded and too.... everything.   Well, so far it's doing great.  So far the only casualty has been sage.   We have no idea why that died.   The other has been basil, but they're not dead, only growing much slower than usual - probably because they're a little shaded.   Everything else is healthy and thriving.

That's the narrowing.  As often as I can, I'm going to write about what we're doing in our garden and in our neighborhood.     I'm going to go to other gardens in this city and interview their gardeners.  I'm going to write about garden shops, stores and greenhouses in our area as well.  With photos]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

So that&#8217;s pretty much it for the overall planning process.  Take note of what you&#8217;ve got, decide what you want, justify that with what&#8217;s possible, divide the whole into areas. 
Now what?  Well, logically, you do one area at a time.  But we aren&#8217;t Vulcans (Star Trek reference), so there&#8217;s a big problem with doing one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have everything we wanted in this area.  It seats 6 people.  It's right off the enclosed deck, so it's not far from the kitchen - we sometimes have our meals out here.  It blocks the view of the cars in the driveway.  There is plenty of shade from both the carport and the trees.  Believe it or not, there are lots of plants in this area - a dozen kinds of hosta, half a dozen types of ferns, soloman's seal, cross vine, moss between the stones, ivy on the fence and much more.  There's a water feature (the blue urn in the corner) and even outdoor speakers (which we rarely use - the sound of the birds and the water is usually enough).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let's start with what we now call our upper patio.  It is appoximately 22' x 20' - about the size of a large room, which is exactly what we wanted.   As you can see from the photos below, it had no privacy, no greenery and no charm.  In other words, Ug Ly.   Don't you agree?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So this is where we started on our map.  We penciled in the sections that would make nice "areas" (either a garden area or a seating area).  We laid out our paths to get as much distance through them as possible (they meander).  We wound up with a drawing with overlapping ovals and circles and a long curving line running along and between them.  We hadn't decided which type of garden went where yet, but we knew that that would be at least partially dictated by the conditions of each area.  ]]></description>
