I am faced with new sunny spots in my used-to-be fully shaded yard. I remember when the mighty oak was touching the roof of the house and DH fretted over that. Now it towers at least 30 ft above the roof. My "shade" garden gets a fair amount of sun now enough to place a banana tree in the sunny path! The ferns and Elephant Ear on the pond are growing faster. Algea is in the pond. The hosta that have been therefor years have dimonished. They are somewhat suffering but still trying to make a go of it. This summer will be the real test. I may be moving a bunch of plants soon and reworking the whole space! For the first time in almost 30 years, I've considered covered gazebos and umbrells in my yard! Nothing stays the same in gardens.
