3 things you need to know to grow great perennial flowers in the shade www.gardening-tips-perennials.com for more articles on shade gardening. The major problem gardeners have with shade – besides the lack of sunlight – is a lack of water. When trees are providing the garden shade, they are very greedy with water and will starve and out-compete most plants. Tree roots are very efficient so it is necessary to give the trees their 1.5 inches of water and the perennials their 1.5 inches. Instead of watering then to 1-2 inches of water, you’re going to have to provide 2-3 inches of water to keep both plants happy. The other thing that shade gardeners sometimes moan about is the lack of flowers on many shade plants. Let me simply say that perennial flowers for the shade make up with smaller flowers by having much more colorful leaves. These leaves provide a season-long show in our gardens rather than a burst-and-gone display. Another issue that’s sometimes brought up is the lack of perennials for the shade. This isn’t true although many garden centers pretend it is by not stocking great shade plants. I’ve written about a few of them on my perennial website above and review new perennial flowers at www.douggreensgarden.com

My girlfriend and I are wanting to plant a small garden (maybe 6×8). We would like to plant some corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, bannana peppers, strawberries and some cantalope. It’s more of just something to do, but we are gonna eat the vegetables. My question is this: Can all these plants grow in the same type of soil? Are there any precautions that need to be taken? Is it too late to plant any of this stuff? We live in lower Michigan. Any helpful hints are appreciated.

I have an old tree in front of my home. I like to add a flower bed around the tree, but I am new to planting and gardening. Also, my lawn needs a lot of care. Last year my husband tilled part of our lawn and we replanted new grass, but our lawn looks very unhealty with a lot of try, burned like spots. What can I do to have a healthy lawn, and how do I go about creating my flower bed around the tree. I like to put a border around the tree like a small wall maybe. I want the flower bed be higher than the actual lawn. We have mostly clay dirt. Can you give me some advice and/or help. Thanks.

We bought a house about four months ago, and have spent this summer on inside work, like painting and repairs and such. Next year we’ll be focusing on the outside of our house, and I’d like to get some great perennials to go along with a variety of annuals that I can change from year to year.

So what plants make a good foundation?
