  1. Clear instructions and "myths busted" that I thought were "facts". Very helpful! Many thanks!!

  2. I have a Mulberry tree in my front yard.
    I am wanting to plant under it.
    I hopeful that Hosta, Elephant Ears, Ferns will grow there. Will these plants be successful here?

  3. What about the time of day of the Sun? For instance if the Sun is from 1 to 5 p.m. by spring equinox, then increasing thru summer?

  4. Greetings from Atlanta. We have a sloped backyard that faces East and backs onto a ravine wooded area. Aside from creating a terrace which would very expensive because the materials could only be brought in through wheelbarrows, what else could I plant. Right now is just a hill of clay.

  5. Very well done, very informative. I have a large property with a lot of trees/shady areas and this was extremely helpful.

  6. I have been enjoying all of your video – and you made referance to how to pick plants for a shade garden… can you send me the link for that video as I can not find it.

  7. I am unable to find your video to grow the type of plants under evergreens . Could you direct me please? Thank you.

  8. I’m just loving all if your videos and I’m so appreciative of your time and knowledge. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years and wanted to say thank you!

  9. What is full shade
    One side of my 2 storey house has full sun from morning till evening.
    Is that full sun?
    One side is hid from the sun from morning till evening. Is that full shade or low light or indirect sunlight?
    I have carport in the middle of my yard, it casts shade all day, I can still see and read under it when I lie down there out of sun. Is that full shade indirect sunlight or?
    I have a windowless fibro shed, I can still clearly see my way round in the daytime. Is that fullshade low light or indirect sunlight?
