Many plants do need at least 6-7 hours of full sun. If your yard is shady for most of the day, you can still grow herbs, lettuce, cabbage, and several other partial shade plants. Don’t give up!

Well, I wouldn’t *eat* the catnip, lol… but it makes a nice tea when you steep the leaves :) It’s also used to calm hyperactive kids.

Nothing that we have planted is doing well at all! :(

I love your markers for the beds as well, very cute! ..I swear, one day I’ll have a garden too, lol* Haven’t gardened this year again (besides a few potted plants, which didn’t do so well –> lack of care? too much heat + humidity??) By the way, I had no idea that humans can eat catnip!!! :)

I didn’t use rubber gloves and paid for it greatly. I tried milk, ketchup, vinegar, toothpaste, mouthwash, yogurt, dish soap, bleach, salt, olive oil, calamine…..all recommended through blogs and posts online. None of which worked. I finally found this post and thought I’d try it. Thank goodness I did. This was awesome! It didn’t get rid of the burn completely, but it lightened the burning a great deal and within a couple of hours all of the burning was gone. Thank you so much!
