Damenora's Frontyard garden

Created on Monday, 14 Jul 08

“Combination soil” and “partial sun” don’t even begin to cover this.

Half the yard gets sufficient sun to grow roses and crepe myrtles, but not quite enough to convince the waterlilies to bloom.

Half the yard gets dappled shade and grows hellebores.

The topsoil is sandy. Dig down a foot or so and there’s clay.
