the opposite of houseproud
Jun. 10th, 2018 08:08 pmI love my house, but I am so embarrassed when people see it.
My garden is also a mess but I am not embarrassed about that. Less embarrassed.

Prepping the shadiest corner for my garden-in-a-box. Those are heucheras and plumbagos. I wanted to put the Knautia macedonica there too, because the information sheet I got with the plants says "Exposure: adaptable" but the plant tag and the web say it needs full sun.

The catalpa tree that is providing the shade.

Some irises that I took out of that spot. Some of them bloomed this year, so maybe it is sunny enough? Dappled sun in Colorado is pretty much equivalent to full sun in Michigan, right?
