Hi Gerry, we have a farily big garden and are trying to get started with planting etc. There are 2 large old beech trees at the front with beds beneath them - in the shade, have you suggestions for what hardy plants/shrubs might grow successfully there with a splash of colour? At the back there is a large open area, of dark boggy soil that we hoped to plant also - any suggestions for that soil? Lastly we wanted to begin a fruit/veg plot in the same soil, what might grow best? Thanks !!!
