Shady garden ideas for your vegetable garden
You know that neglected shady strip on the side of your house between you and your neighbor? When’s the last time you spent any time there? What about that corner of your yard that only gets sunlight for a few hours each morning.
These areas are actually great opportunities to grow some food!
