    Please help..........

    Hubby decided to rototill the area around my deck so we could use it to plant more vegtables. The only problem is....that area gets sun almost 90 % of the day. Does anyone know what I could plant there that wouldnt get damaged due to the sun? Thanks

    I have a similar problem. You have to check and see what is hardy in your area that needs full sun.

    Tomatoes love sun - make sure they are well-watered in the morning and they'll be good to go.  My raspberry bushes also seem to love full sun, and I've had good luck with squash vines of all types.

    Peppers too.  In addition to heat loving veggies, I would put down a good layer of mulch - like newspaper, then straw or bark mulch - to help keep the soil from drying out in all that sun & heat coming off the deck.
