this will be our fourth summer in this house, but only our third growing season. each year i try to grow a bunch of things, and while i've been successful with some things (see cucumbers in november) i've mostly learned that san francisco has crazy microclimates and that our backyard only gets sun in one tiny little area. this is why i've decided to move things to the front yard. there's not a lot of space there, but there's a decent sized planter box that gets lots of sunshine. so sayonara horse tails, see you later leftover tulip bulbs, we gotta make room for tomatoes, peppers and more. in fact, i'll throw in some cilantro too just so we can grow some salsa.
and yes i am fully aware that growing things in the front yard seems weird, but i'm on a cul de sac and at the end of a huge hill, so foot traffic is pretty sparse. let's just hope those pesky neighbors don't want salsa first.
