The rest of the time it is bare earth. Any thoughts on a good shade-loving ground cover? I'd prefer no Ivy. Our neighbors have Ivy and it's out of control. Oh yeah, We just got a dog and all plant would need to be dog friendly, ie, not poisonous.
Any good deer-resistant plants for a shade garden? I am dealing with two problems in one here: 1. My front yard faces North and gets very little sun. 2.

Also, I live in Virginia, if that helps. Given that anything is better than nothing, suggest away! Flowering plants, decorative grasses, shrubs, herbs - I don't care!

Shade garden plant suggestions? There is an area in my back yard under a dense tree that I have decided to make a mulch shade garden instead of planting grass. The area is probably 20' X 20' with the tree in the middle. It is in the corner of my yard so it is surrounded by fence on 2 sides and the house on the other and then opens up to my yard. Because this area gets barely any direct sunlight, I need some suggestions on what plants to plant. So far I have bought 2 burford hollys and 3 emerald spread jananese yews. I am looking for some small understory trees that will grow around 6 feet high, a couple more shrubs and maybe a bit of ground cover. Most of the plants will be along the fence/house and around the tree leaving an area for people/ dogs to walk. Thanks!

Scale on Perennials in a shade garden? Almost Oct in St. Louis, MO. I went out and found scale all over the plants in one shade garden. Hosta, astilbe, liriope and Jap painted Fern. This is not a lite investation. There are 1000's. From back of leaves to the stems where they go into the ground. The scale is also all over the vinyl siding of the house. I can't understand this. Can scale be brought in on shredded bark mulch in the spring? I've just never had scale on yard plants before, just house plants. My first thought was to cut everything to the ground, take out all the mulch and treat the soil. Burn all the plant debris. I've already scraped them off my siding. Please tell me what to do. What do I spray with etc.. I welcome any ideas. These scale are brown, the size of a pencil point approx.. What are the chances of the scale coming back next year?

Plants for a very small shade garden? My husband and I have a tiny little palm tree courtyard in the back of our house (we live downtown) that is enclosed by tall buildings. The area is about 12' by 9' (tiny....). We built our house around an existing palm tree that we used to have, which is definitely a point of interest when you look into the small courtyard and you see this tall palm tree climbing up along side two tall adjacent buildings. The plam tree is to the right of the courtyard, but with all the buildings surrounding it, we get VERY LITTLE to no sun at all in there. We would like to make this courtyard look very peaceful, but both of us are very green when it comes to gardening, so we don't even know where to start. What plants, flowers, shrubs, or tiny trees would do well in such a small, shady area? We plan on having river rock on the ground and most of the plants I want to place in pots (rectangular pots). The house is very modern so we would like to keep the shade garden in the same style (nothing too crazy or too busy). Thanks for any suggestions you may have. oops...I failed to mention that we live in southern part of California.

I was thinking mint, basil and berries. What else loves shade?

Need help finding shade loving plants for my new garden...? I live in zone 8b. My small garden is on the northfacing side of my house, and gets almost no sun.

If not, any pretty greenery is good enough for me :) This will be my first garden, so I kind of need some hardy perennials that will forgive my mistakes. Thank you.

Does a high UV index cause garden vegetable plants not to grow as well? My garden vegetables plants are not growing well this summer. I have tomatoes, squash, hot peppers, basil and oregano. The plants are very short and less developed as compared with other summers. I'm wondering if it could be the high UV index we've been having. It's also been cooler than usual and much rainier than usual. The soil is fresh and all else seems to be in order. Should I move them into the shade or it more likely that it's the cooler temperatures and too much rain that's the cause of their underdevelopment? Many thanks.
