This time last year I was going out to discos, then I got engaged to an avid gardener and we bought a house with a big yard. I traded in my dancing shoes for an engagement ring and a pair of garden gloves. I want to thank everyone who has posted to this site and to the plant database. Because of you all, I went from knowing zero about gardening to becoming fairly knowledgeable about shade plants. Well, at least I’ve done a lot of research and planted my first garden, (which is a large shade garden under a huge black walnut tree). Now I get to learn the real hands on of gardening. Fighting off slugs, fertilizing, weeding. I’m attaching pictures of our whole back yard (which is primarily filtered shade), before and after. I’m just so proud. We did all the work ourselves. I’ll do another post with just my shade garden and share what I planted. Thanks again for all your inspiration, ideas and information!! Here's the yard last August.... |
