I love it! I moved to my new place in December. We had an early heavy snow last November, that took down the leaves that hadn't fallen, yet.(most of them) When I moved in I had a shitstorm of wet leaves. The garden spot had already been used for a lawn clipping dump. So I piled 4 feet of leaves on top. My new garden is a mess but I have been working the edges. I established some asparagus which has now gone to seed and planted an early crop of snap peas against the garden shed. They are thriving and
have some blooms.
I have a few veggies but my deal is the sedim and flowers. My place faces north. The front is shady and so is the front of the backyard fence. I threw down shade garden mix seeds and got a crop of fuchsias. The front ones are starting to open some are orange pink and some purple pink.

I tore out a well established fir tree shaped like an umbrella. It was a yard hog right in the middle of everything. I started wacking and with the help of the neighbors it's gone and strawberries are in its place. They are just setting on. I have a few red ones already.
