I don't have any oak trees to deal with here, so my knowledge is limited.<br /><br />Bummer about the raised beds.<br /><br />Sometimes you guys make me feel better about having few trees, but this Kansas wind reminds me why I need them.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-45921780358337190892012-04-05T12:37:32.041-05:002012-04-05T12:37:32.041-05:00They might also try container gardening due to poo...They might also try container gardening due to poor soil nutrition. I started to add raised beds, however, the roots from the oak trees would invade and suck the life out of the raised beds.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-36957371101513204872012-04-05T11:38:05.260-05:002012-04-05T11:38:05.260-05:00Oops, I guess not all thing sals, tomatoes don'...Oops, I guess not all thing sals, tomatoes don't like shade unless you have extremely high temps, even then they need a bit of morning shade.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-42058449413325702142012-04-05T11:36:53.989-05:002012-04-05T11:36:53.989-05:00Mandi, all things salad indeed would work!

My boyfriend and I are setting up a mushroom area in our garden this year, right next to the house where we don't get any sun at any point during the year.<br /><br />I wish I had some partial shade areas in my garden. Besides the area blocked by the house, it is all sun all the time.<br /><br />P.S. I'm in Spokane, WA. It's very hot and dry during the summer.LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085048185481613257noreply@blogger.com
