ruI ask for help from my gardening friends! <3 <3
My father and I have two gardening projects slated for this spring--one is to give the funny patio-blocking fence thing next to our patio a little decoration in the form of vineage. The other is to populate a patch of dirt in our lawn. Since it's smack dab in the middle of the shade, grass won't grow there, so I suggested we use the area to make a planting of shade plants. Dad seems to like this idea, perhaps because it means he won't have to fight to coax grass to grow there anymore. ^_^;
So if anyone has any recommendations for either of these projects, I'd greatly appreciate it! For the shade area, anything will do, but I'd really love to get some flowering things in there. I would've loved to put bluebells in the shade area, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Maybe they wouldn't work in our area. I've got a couple ideas for the fence, perhaps maybe a climbing rose, a clematis, or perhaps some honeysuckle if I can get at it, but if anyone else has any other ideas, I'd greatly appreciate those as well. <3 <3 <3 <3
