sycamore tree
gives plants a chance to establish before the leaves come out. She should mulch with more garden compost from time to time and give plenty of water to the new plants. She needs to plant things that would naturally grow in the shade of trees among dry by lynne24

HELP me please!!
plants are better value. Have a look at perennial wallflowers Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve' or Lavenders, Hebes are good but a little boring. Hardy fuchsias. Daffodils are good value. I would also consider growing cosmos from seed. All hardy annuals are good by natalia85
