After living in Raleigh for 28 years and developing my driveway into a container and straw-bale filled garden (due to where the sun now shines in my yard), I will have a new place to garden! We move in mid January, we have a big flat sunny back yard - less extreme summer heat. One must will be our first ever asparagus patch! I think I can see a mix of raised beds, in-ground planting - so lots of work to do with a pad and a pencil!
