moss covered




I love moss. I love the intricacy when you examen the plants up close. I love the soft texture and the brilliant hues. It is a lovely plant, much more appealing than grass. The problem is that my moss is most prolific in the kitchen garden, where sun loving vegetables, and cut flowers are supposed to grow. Every bed is covered with moss to some degree. Naturally the problem is a lack of sun, which will cause problems this growing season. Over time our once sun filled garden plot has become more and more shady, mostly from our neighbor's rampant growing trees. So it is time to rethink. More blueberries, and lettuce, less peppers and tomatoes? Suggestions anyone?

If you don't mind the rambling, I really love squash. I have had butternut grow nicely in my less than ideally sunny garden patch. This year I will try Musque de Provence (Fairytale pumpkin) I love the broad rounded leaves and tendrils of squash plants.
