suggestions for flower bed that is sheltered from ALL rain! - April 5th, 2006 at 09:35 PM
Hi everyone!
I have a very wide flower bed in front of my house, and the back 3' of it is sheltered from the rain by an overhang :p
I could use some suggestions on what to try to plant there. Would adding a lot of peat moss help keep the moisture when I do get around to watering? ( I mainly like perennials and just let them go, spending more time working on veggie beds.)
Any thoughts would be appreciated! It's East facing, and gets some good sun in the morning, plus it's heated up by light colored siding on the house. Something tall maybe, because of being the back row.
