Thanks. I didn't do a soil test. Is it too late to add amendments? It gets sun mostly in the morning and late afternoon. During the middle of the day there is some shade from surrounding trees. Those pictures were all taken early in the morning before the sun was up over the trees.

My sweetie-pie, Harry, on his fourth birthday with four birthday candles and a numeral candle, too. With Harry, too much was not enough! He always had a "cake," made up of his favorite goods. He always had candles, too. For his 4th, the cake was slices of red and green bell peppers (his favorite ), slivers of cheese (his favorite ), pats of butter (his favorite ), apple slices (his favorite ), and a thin slice of a beef shank soup bone (his favorite ). I don't know why I didn't have broccoli on the plate that year; that was his absolute favorite. I can't remember what the two pale slices are on the front of the plate; I know I did not give him raw bacon, although that would have most definitely been...his favorite ! His "table" is the footstool to my glider rocker. It was just the right height. I blew out and removed the candles before he could dig in. He always ate each treat separately, like first the butter pats, then the peppers, then the cheese... This is my heart.

That's so interesting! Thank you.
