The long empty house east of me just got demolished, then down came two HUGE paper mulberries plus a cherry laurel that have long sent invasive suckers into my yard. The east side of my yard has always been shady, just a question of degree......when I sprigged my gloomy center east bed with EcoFarm sweet potatoes, and planted two passion fruit seedlings on the fence I was betting on afternoon sun hopefully being sufficient. So to see it sunny for the first time EVER is a joy!
