All great ideas! I should hit the local nurseries to see how many of these things I can find. I know I want to plant herb seeds around the perimeter already. Thank you!
I like the idea of a vine. That would help. I am planning a trip to the garden center soon I will see if I can find a started vine to go with some of these other great ideas.
I will have to plant something to give the girls shade n the covered yard. What trees or bushes do you think are not toxic and may double as a food source? Zone 8.
