| What kinds of plants or seeds are good to plant in an area where there's alot of sun and which ones are good for the shadows? I have alot of space in my yard to plant and I would like to make a garden. |
| For a sunny area, you might grow perennials such as yarrow (Achillea), daylily (Hemerocallis), black eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgida), border phlox, asters, and sedums. In a shady area, you might grow perennials such as hosta, pulmonaria, and ferns. These are usually set out as transplants. For a sunny area you might grow annuals such as zinnia, marigold, and cleome. These are often started by planting seed in the garden or can be set out as transplants. For a shady area you might grow annuals such as begonias and impatiens. These are usually set out as transplants. You might also want to take a look at a book or two about gardening. The Dummies series offers books on general gardening, how to do landscaping, and growing annual and perennial flowers for instance. I hope this gives you some ideas. Enjoy your new garden! |
