startide_rising's Shady Back Planter garden

Garden Type: Shade | Sun: Full Shade | Soil: Clay | Established: 2008 I'm Organic!

The back planter in our backyard get almost all shade because of the tall fence it runs along and the direction of the sun. It only gets some sun in the early morning and late evening. I am starting to start some plants there that love shade.
