Thank you re: my garden. That is my pride and joy. The front of my house faces east, and there is a large cliff directly across the street, so it gets only a couple hours of morning sun. The idea of that garden is a combination of shade-loving and native plants. I have a wonderful fern collection... they are HARD to dig up, lol, and when I go hunting I have to take a hatchet to break off a chunk! I bring back a bucket of the substrate as well and plant them with their 'feet' underneath the front porch to keep cool.
There are also some other really neat forest plants in that garden- trillium, jack in the pulpit, yellow spotted fawn lily, and then the more mundane astilbe and tradescantia. The tulips are just there for color until the ferns come up.

Speaking of messing up plants, Yeag called the other day about his own veggies- with all the rain everyone has been getting, the only things that seem happy are the tomatoes and tomatillos; most of the peppers did NOT take well to the run of wet weather the Midwest has been having.

lol Ima go check your thread now
heehee this is funny, like hide n seek! Demeter and Stinky are chasing each other around the board!
Oh I hope my peppers don't suffer like yeag's did- they are my favorites!!! I have to go outside in the drizzle and check on them now. I'll call you :smokin:
