I am excited about this un tackled area of the front yard. I think I can trim some low hanging branches of the tree to provide a little more sunshine to this part of the yard - but it will always remain mostly shady.

Right now, the brown pot holds my clematis that I ordered online last year.

Have to clean the area and go shopping for some cool plants - I know I don't want ferns though.

Haphazardly planted a huechera and 6 hardy primroses. I want to give a design to it. I have so many small terra cotta pots. Thinking of creating a 'pot border'. Still thinking ......

Not much progress that are visible yet. Hopefully the hardy primroses, the huechera and astilbe will fill out. Added a rhododendron too.I wonder if I am putting too many 'very slow growing' plants in this area. I don't want to wait many years to enjoy this garden.

The garden is almost done - only need to tidy up and mulch. 1 azalea, 2 hostas, 3 columbines, some huechera and hardy primroses are in this part of the garden. Also added rock border which I might change if I come up with a better idea. Must say the ivy clean up was the hardest. Also, the ground is so full of rocks - digging ensures a lot of calorie burn. Anyhow, here it is today :
