How does my garden grow?


After nearly four years of living in this house I finally did something with the garden. My Mom dug a bed a few years ago and put some plants in it, but those were eaten by slugs. This year a neighbour gave me some African Marigolds and I got a Clematis for my birthday. Today we took some old bricks and made a raised bed at the end of the garden.

We still have to put some soil in it, but it's a start. I'm still not sure what I'm going to plant. I was thinking maybe some ferns. This particular spot gets absolutely no sun and the ground is very damp. If any of you keen gardeners have any suggestions I would be most greatful.

Ferns sound like a good choice. Very good start. As I remember, the soil was very nice right there.

Ferns and hostas sound like a good choice for shade.
