Hello,
My "garden", in northeast Florida, is a patch next to my townhouse, against a 30 foot stucco wall. It gets filtered sun from 9 -11 am and FULL sun from 11:00 am - 7 pm.
Nothing I plant there will grow. Plants do well if they're in pots, but once planted in the ground they languish and die. Even the many healthy amaryllis I brought from my former house are barely alive. Even plumbago is struggling.
There are a few unhealthy ligustrums nearby but not overhanging the plot. I've found that nothing will grow under ligustrums - I think they poison competing plants. Could their roots be killing the plants?
Has anyone had this experience?
