why did my veggies ghost me in my shady dallas yard?

Last summer, I was so pumped to grow my own food. I planted peppers and tomatoes, dreaming of salsa. But my garden had other plans. The plants grew tall, but not a single fruit showed up. Even my cucumbers just sprawled everywhere with zero results. Turns out, my yard only gets a few hours of sun because it’s boxed in by houses. This year, I switched things up. I tackled the weeds first with a thick layer of cardboard and mulch. No more fighting with grass every week! Then I picked leafy greens like lettuce and spinach, plus some herbs. They love the partial sun and actually grew! Now I get to pick fresh salads and feel like a gardening genius, even in my shady spot. #gardeningtips #dallasgarden #shadylawn #growyourown #Gardening
