Let me see - this is the area from a distance, looking from the house at the north end of the acre to the south. the beds are straight ahead. I don't think I have anything looking at them closer. Maybe today I can get some pictures.

I live the foothills of the Cascades in Woodinville, WA, so, even without trees blocking it, my "full sun" is nowhere near real "full sun". :-) I have a meadow that is ringed with trees - mature big leafed maples to the south and a forest to the west.

I think the area was cleared many years ago to put this meadow in for grazing and then 30 years ago the house was built and a fence was put in. So the beds have been technically cleared. I just removed the last of the salmonberry shrubs (more to go) and the native dewberry.

The soil is clay, but is acidic.

Oh, and this is my dog, Sahara, mid-stride in the middle.
