Hello! I live in central Minnesota, and last year I bought my first house. I didn't start gardens, because my husband's and my first priority was the lawn. Now that we have the lawn under control, it's time for gardens!
I'm afraid I got so excited about starting my
seeds indoors, that I might have too big of a project started. My
seedlings are doing very well, but I haven't made my final decision about the location of my vegetable garden.
So far, the research I've done leads me to believe that in general the garden should be in full sun. I have a nice shed with three feet of rock border on each side, and the side that faces my house will be in full sun all day. I want to put a permanent garden there. It would be 10' long, 3 1/2' deep.
My questions are:
Should it indeed be full sun, all day?
Is it OK to plant against a shed?
Should I make it a raised plant bed?
Should I make it a cold frame?
I appreciate all input, I am completely new to this. Thank you!
