All the time we have to consider the type of plant, what it needs, how the soil is (though that process here is largely over) and what its requirements for sun are. Most vegetables need full sun and we had the big ash in the midst of our garden cut down last year to open up more areas of full sun. \u00a0A seed (its package) or a plant (its plastic container) leaves a temporary home for a place it can flourish, reach its optimum.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for a garden together is so much like raising a family, caring for dogs. Nurture. It helps us stay in touch with our home and as a by product we get nutritious food.
