Congratulations on your beet crop.
There is no sarcasm there, none, just sympathy.
I once decided to try growing wheat in my 4x16 vegetable bed. I used about
half of the bed for the wheat, and my friend with the electric flour mill
laughed and laughed when I showed up on his doorstep with my little pint jar
of wheat berries.
But hey, I had enough flour to make a *delicious* batch of whole wheat rolls
for Thanksgiving, and gained a much better understanding of what goes on up
there in North Dakota.


I planted some buckwheat out there, to attract bees, build the soil, but
I think it's in a spot that is too shady.

I also planted a container of snap beans. Got one plateful out of it.
But, by golly, I grew them.

What's a good shade tolerant veggie?
