I think starting with raised beds would be the best approach for your backyard since the soil there is quite clay-heavy. You will want to amend it with compost and some sand to improve drainage. For vegetables, tomatoes and peppers do well in that climate with enough sun. You might also add marigolds around the borders to deter pests. The key is to prepare the soil properly before planting and water consistently. I found that a soaker hose system saves time and keeps leaves dry which helps prevent disease. Let me know if you need help figuring out the layout.

I think choosing a mix of fiction and non-fiction for the next few months would keep everyone engaged. The group seemed to really enjoy the last memoir we read so maybe we could alternate genres each meeting. For next month I was thinking something by a local author since several members mentioned wanting to support community writers. We could meet at the library community room since attendance has been growing. Regarding the schedule moving to every other Tuesday evening instead of monthly might work better for people with busy weekends. I can send out a poll to see what dates work best.

I think choosing a mix of fiction and non-fiction for the next few months w=
ould keep everyone engaged. The group seemed to really enjoy the last memoi=
r we read so maybe we could alternate genres each meeting. For next month I=
 was thinking something by a local author since several members mentioned w=
anting to support community writers. We could meet at the library community=
 room since attendance has been growing. Regarding the schedule moving to e=
very other Tuesday evening instead of monthly might work better for people =
with busy weekends. I can send out a poll to see what dates work best.
