I have an area of grass that I want to turn into a flower garden. I'm planning on using layered newspaper, compost, greens/browns, etc. but is it too late to start this here in zone 4 - Minnesota so I can plant in this area in the spring? Is there anything I could add to speed up the process? The area is on the east side of the house and only gets about 3 hours of sun each morning, so am planning to put in mostly shade/part shade plants. I've found a wealth of information on this site and so thought this would be the place to go for an answer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
