This is a picture of my front yard where I want to plant the start of a shade garden. When you drive in the gate this area is on the right side and across the front of the property. It goes from full shade along the driveway to partial shade to full sun against the fence. You can see the front of the trailer and the kids jumping thing. It will be gone, they sold it. It sets on garvel and that I am trying bucket by bucket to move to the driveway and walkway. Will add other pictures. Any suggestions of where to start besides plowing the yard. The soil here is red and sticky, I need suggestions on amendments. I was thinking of spreading straw before they plow. Mary
