Can I grow here?

11 years ago

Hello all,

I need some advice. I have this plot of ground in my backyard between my fence and the concrete slab of my porch that I have always wanted to do something with. It doesn't get much sun, especially now that I've put the fence posts back up. ;) I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what I might be able to plant in this sort of area or if I should just forget about it (like my husband says). Any suggestions would be great. I've included links to the pictures I have taken for reference.

Thanx,

Brandy
