Gardening in the shade

Gardening in the shade is the only possibility in ninety degree weather. If the day is overcast, I can work anywhere in the yard, but on a sunny day it's easy to get heat stress. So I follow the shade. Today I finished clearing the piles of vines that came down with the tree during the storm. Then I moved to the front of the house, where Virginia creeper grows up through the azaleas. I got most of the big roots and spread mulch. I'll get what's left another day. I cleared the vines back in the fall, but I did not do a good job of getting roots until today. Even the smilax vine I dug up previously came back from a couple of little pieces of the root that I missed in the fall. As the shade moves around throughout the day, eventually I will get to each area that needs attention.
