I have a small Hill in my back yard, need direction😀
Hill is small but I have no real idea what to put on it. Also where would I find a couple of young people to assist me? I'm having some trouble with my back.
Maybe lay down weed block material and fill in with varying sizes of river rocks? You might have to ask from some help but you do it once and you won't have to do much for a while. You leave/put in some hostas and inpatiens for color.
Liriope is lovely too and comes in solid and verigated.
I’m not sure what Liripoe is lol. I have Hosta’s going crazy around both trees that I may move over under the bay window but not sure yet.
Clean out any plants you do not want. Add some fresh top soil and maybe a bag or two of cow or sheep manure. Rake even, cover with either garden fabric or newspapers. Plant your new flowering shrubs for shady areas and then mulch to a debt of about three inches.
you can also place stepping stones to make a walkway to your bench. I recommend using shade loving plants in pots to set on the rocks. Elephant ears love shade and usually grow quickly.
Smother out the unwanted weeds with black plastic, use newspaper, and cardboard as a base and heavy landscape material to keep the weeds output up plants in containers.Shade perennials...Hosta,Lirope,Astilbe,Heuchera,bleeding heart, mix in colorful shade annuals.....Torenia,new guniea impatience, non-stop begonia, caladium,rex begonia, etc.Reach out to some of you neighbors for planting help.Once your gardens are of your liking, place a comfortable seating arangement for you and your guests to relax
That sounds perfect.! Thank you!
