Creating Space
Living on a mountain creates challenges for a gardener. For the most part I just roll with it and find an alternative way to do things or adjust my expectations. However, part of our land is on the side of said mountain and losing that space for growing was NOT an option! The land on the outside of the back fence drops steeply. It was full of very tall growth, 8-12 feet high. For several years now, I have been cutting the plants down and stacking them in what I hoped would eventually be a terraced area in which to garden. This season I was determined to finish with the area. I finally got everything terraced, piled the newest cuttings on top of the old, and covered the whole bunch with plastic sheeting so that it can break down over the next year.
