Hello Gary,
From reading your message I would say you are doing just fine, Thank You.
Not everyone tackles Primula for their gardens and that includes some of
the more "knowledgeable" gardeners. Color in the shade is not a problem
since there are so many beautiful plants to choose from. Many, if not most,
will be discussed here... Stay tuned and look forward to reading your
contributions to the group.

now rose bushes -- which I really like because of their hardiness here in
Northern Illinois). A couple of years ago, after moving to a new home, I
had a large area filled with dirt mounds on the side of our house. Since
I've transformed it into a shade/partial shade garden, growing primrose,
hostas, begonias. I have installed low voltage lighting, stepping stones
(so that the meter reader can do his/her job without stepping through the
mulch) and use a buried soaker hose for watering which has worked very
well.

forward to participating in this forum and probably mostly "listening" to
all of you for your ideas and wisdom.
