Hello again Val,
Take a drive over to southern Indiana, watch along the drive and then
check out my garden. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with all that
grows and thrives in the clay soils. Natives have adapted themselves to
these conditions. Not all natives, or their relatives, are weeds.
My garden is on the north side of a hills and is in shade. Right now it is
absolutely lovely with al the yellow, white, blue and pink.... with much
more to come. You would be welcome. There is always something cool in the
fridge after the hike through the hillside garden.
