This part of the garden is Part shade to shade.
Between the spruce trees is where we store our firewood for the winter.
We generally stack (1 facecord)the wood late in the season October, and use all the firewood by the end of March.
I have an idea to plant Hostas in the area because they would be dorment when we stack and emerge in spring after the pile is gone and foot traffic is over.
My question is : Are there any other plants that would go in this area besides Hostas?
The graph area is the space for the garden, the woodpile does not take up the whole area which is 11x7.
the dark sections at the botom of the graph are bluestone sidewalk thats why I would like to make it visually attractive.
