Really nice - I love 'em! (But your photos - were you born on the side of a hill? )
Now I can discern that Dutchman's Pipe is the vine in your (tiny) avatar. Is there a way to enlarge others' avatar photos? (I'll post mine once the place is painted.)
Late spring or early summer.

Love all the photos.
It's that darn embed code when folks upload photos from their phone. They think it's oriented right because it looks right to them, but here it shows up every which way.Manalto wrote:Really nice - I love 'em! (But your photos - were you born on the side of a hill? )

My rather sickly Rhododendron has done me proud with blooms this year. It really needs moving to a more shady spot (perhaps later in the summer)

Re: Late spring or early summer.
I got my answer - found out avatar photos are maximum 150 X 100, so enlargements are not an option. At that size, decided to use my realtor's gloomy shot.
Here's a groundcover option for the shade, Hay-scented Fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula). It's a native, and a bit tidier than ferns that grow individually in a rosette (circular) form; instead it colonizes, spreading by runners under the soil, and quickly filling an area. (This space along the foundation was sparsely planted last year and one year later it's mostly filled in.) Deer and rabbits ignore it.
