\ The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, March 19,1994 27 Shade Garden Tips ©Gardens made in the shade take less water and weeding and are more pleasant pleasant to work in. Here are some ways to enjoy shady gardening: •Study the shade patterns. Make mental or written notes of what is in shadow or sunlight, morning, noon, and afternoon at different seasons. • Consider the soil. If the shade comes from buildings, the soil there may be fill dirt left from construction with very little remaining topsoil. If the shade comes from trees and shrubs, their roots will compete with the grasses, grasses, ground covers or flowers for nutrients nutrients and moisture. If drainage is poor, plants growing in shade can be more prone to root rot and other disease problems. But all of these problems are easily solved by enriching and improving the soil with organic matter. Doc and Katy Abraham, who write books and articles and do their gardening gardening in Naples, New York, find that Canadian Sphagnum peat moss is one of the best soil conditioners. "We do a lot of our shade gardening in half barrels. We use a three-part mix of good garden soil, Canadian peat moss, and either builders' sand, vermi- culite, or perlite," says Katy. This immediately eliminates poor soil or drainage and root competition. • Choose the right plants. Redbud trees, flowering dogwood* Japanese maple, buckeye and evergreen hemlock all thrive in light to medium shade. Ground covers , such as ajuga, Bishops hat,.euonymus or wintercreep- er, blue fescue, wild strawberry, winter- green, sweet woodruff, ivy, pachysan- dra and vinca do best in shade. Annual coleus, begonias, browallia. godetias, impatiens, torenias and pansies pansies prefer shade. Among the perennials, perennials, choose columbine, astilbe, bleeding bleeding heart, hostas, daylilies, iris, foxgloves, foxgloves, primroses and violas.
