May was a busy busy time. There was a lot that was done... beginning with actually preparing the space for the garden.

The area I had picked had South and East exposure with sun through all early morning and with shade creeping from the wall side (call it North Side of the garden) from about 11am till evening. Still, the Southern most part of the garden continues to get some, if weak, sun all day.

This spot originally housed a maple tree with pachysandra as ground cover. The first order of the day was to weed out the tangled mess of pachysandra that was this plant to create a tillable area of 80 square feet for vegetable garden this year.
