I'm doing some container gardening this summer. Still can't convince hubby to let me use a piece of our acre+ for a garden. We do have a lot of trees (very woody area) so there's a lot of shade most days -- those shade tolerant plants I'll keep in mind when I finally get my way.
And then there's the wildlife -- a fence around the garden would ruin the look of the yard
but
NOBODY'S looking at the yard-- we don't live in a suburban neighborhood.
and he doesn't eat vegetables so he doesn't get the point of a garden when I can get them at the store
so for now the majority of my garden is with a CSA like most of my books are kept at the library on their shelves
