Re: Gardeners in the Asylum
Some may have noticed I haven't posted in the garden thread about my garden. Well, I'm out of the gardening business. I took the entire thing up and reclaimed my land. The reason was simple - sunlight. I planted 2 red maples and a chestnut tree about 12 years ago. The maples are HUGE and the chestnut is gaining. Those in combination with several neighbor trees and I now only get about 1-2 hours of direct sun where I used to get 8-9 hours. Over the years as the sunlight got less and less my plants began to struggle. Last year was a loss, so I decided to cultivate grass instead. I still get enough veggies from my dad and I sort of miss the garden, but my time is filled elsewhere. Such is life.
Keep 'em growing, boys!
