I work full time and love to get the chance to garden on my days off. I have my own garden at my place and also look after the garden at my boyfriend’s place. He does not like gardening and he has a beautiful yard so it is a pleasure to do the gardening there and see the flowers bloom all summer. His place has lots of sun and my place is very shaded so the flowers need to be a lot different in both places. Sometimes there is just not enough time to get all of it done to my satisfaction but I do the best I can. It is a challenge to have plants grow well in my very shaded area but have managed to get lots to grow well and others not so well. We live in a very rainy place during the winter and our summers do not get outrageously hot so we have a good mix of weather here. We are on an Island so are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.

Zone 7 Small back yard but have managed to put a few things in containers and along the fence. The clematis on the fence is a spring bloomer and looks spectacular.
