The Blogger's Garden

Trying to figure out what to plant around the pine trees in this yard.

Continuing to the right of this photo are a lot of hostas, groundcover, ivy, a stone path, and stone wall; up one level is a small area that I’m going to do something with next year, I think; it’s very cool and shady and I’m thinking ferns. Up the next level is a border of wild flowers and then the biggest part of our yard which is flat and dry and just a mess. Too many pine trees make growing things difficult and I’d love to put some raised beds up there, but I have no idea how we’d get the dirt there because you actually have to climb a series of concrete steps to get up there.
