Hi
I really need help. My front yard faces kind of south, south-west, with
white house on the north side. Morning sun is blocked with 3 mature (really
big canopy) Black Walnut trees, noon sun is non exixtent and afternoon sun
is blocked with Maple tree and neigbors house which sits much closer to the
street than ours. We had the walnuts trimmed last fall so it may (I hope) be
shade instead of DEEP shade this year. I've spent a fortune trying to get
something that will tolerate the black walnuts as well as the shade. Even my
poor hostas seem stunted. My cousin gave me some solomon seal last summer,
and that seems to be surviving. Everything else really seems to suffer. Most
things that will tolerate the walnuts need a bit more sun than I have. Front
yard is approx 75' x 90' so I have a lot of territory to cover. Need
something for beds in front of the house as well as the front. Green alone
can be so boring! I'm in the northern part of Zone 6.
Any help or suggestions will really be appreciated.
Thanks
Lillian
