What is the best type of grass to grow in northeast ohio. I have full sun in front yard and partial sun to mostly shade in back yard.
Try either Kentucky Bluegrass or Perennial Ryegrass in the front. You can also use them in the back but mix in some Fine Fescue to help balance out for the shade.

We are not able to begin our garden in northwest Virginia until mid June. Any tips on the best things to grow and when (late spring vs. late summer planting) for maximum family food consumption for the year?
Other than the early crops, like lettuce and peas, you should be able to grow most other plants fine. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplants actually will catch up to normal growth due to the heat if planted this late (but you can always simply place seeds in the ground now and let them fend for themselves until you are able to attend to them). Other plants like carrots, beans and radishes have a short enough season where you will not have a problem with getting a harvest.
Just make sure to work in some good compost or fertlizer to give the plants everything they need to grow fast.
I live in Phoenix and I am wondering about planting a privacy screen. The area to plant is only 24 inches wide, approximately 15 feet long, and surrounded by concrete. My biggest concerns are low litter plants, evergreens, safe for dogs, and not too bushy because they are on a property line and will be directly next to the neighbor's driveway. They will be in full sun and planted in an east-west line. They will be put on an irrigation system for watering.
