Hi, I’m new-ish to gardening and this whole idea but really excited to build a nice environment. So I’m in 9B, Oaky Woodlandy area. I’ve been focusing on our front yard which is mostly starting out with grass and oak trees, and it feels more or less straightforward how to plant stuff there.
In the backyard though, it’s all downhill, super rocky, covered in leaves, shady from oak trees, and the ground is super hard to dig into. Also lots of deer travel through and munch. I tried to plant some Yerba Buena back there but I couldn’t really dig into the ground, it was very slide-y too.. We do get some weeds growing there? A lot of spiky thistle.
Anyway, what can I do to make the area more workable? Willing to put in some work, or have it take time. Thanks!!
