Garden

So here I am trying to flex my green thumb for the first time. I came to realize very quickly that I am working against a very shaded yard. I have a large oak tree in my backyard, one in the front and a few others on the side. But I am still giving it a try on growing things that I know need a full sunlight. In my garden, lettuce, tomato, basil, cilantro, parsley, dill, thyme, rosemary, arugula, carrots, beans, mint, Japanese red maple and 1 sunflower. Most of these guys are still seedlings, such as the beets and the carrots. They are all in pots right now and I'm kind of trying to make it work. I know the carrots and the beets are kind of wishful thinking but a girl can at least try. I am still trying to figure out where to put the Japanese Maple seedlings that my friend Ina gave me. And I discovered yesterday after walking the dog that there is a Mulberry tree right next to my fence. I feel like just a lucky girl! I always wanted a Mulberry tree as a little girl just like Tai always wanted his own acorn tree. And how wonderful is that we both have our childhood dreams come true!
