This is a hill in my backyard that is all hard clay. I don't plan on much planting up here but I do plan on getting a gazebo to sit under and putting a trampoline up here as well. I was thinking of a container garden up here as well but the sun beams down all day long, I just don't know where I would put a vegetable garden period in my yard as there are no spots that get much shade. What other plants would you all suggest up here on clay hill? Would a tree thrive?
