I have a particularly shady area that I'd very much like to get covered so
those wonderful little neighborhood angels do not find it so easy to see
into my yard and throw things at our dogs. :) To be perfectly honest, the
key to our desire on this is fast growth and something that's fairly thick
for the off season -- berries are a plus (would be nice to get something for
nature) and if it's invasive, all the more better. We're in SW Ohio, Zone 6
and the area gets dappled sun at various times during the day.
I also have another area in addition to part of the dappled shade area that
I'd like to plant some flowering plants -- something to attract the general
butterfly, hummingbird, bumble bee, etc. population. Two spots here -- one
that is somewhat woodland and gets little to no direct sun and another that
gets dappled (same as above). I'd really like to start these off from seed.
I'm thinking of basically spreading them about in a somewhat random pattern
to give a sort of devil-may-care design.
All thoughts welcomed....
