Hi Tabasco,
Keep an eye out for it. It should be showing up more now that it is in TC.
There are ferns for just about every situation. If you want a great book on ferns I would recommend John Mickel's book 'Ferns for the American Garden' I have the older version and have just about worn it out.
I love your new areas. The possibilities are endless. Are you looking for mostly perennials? or some shrubs/bushes too?

Here's a picture of the first area that we started planting 5-6 years ago and have added to it over the years. This is a low lying area that stays damp longer after a rain. The right side where the Astilbe is gets morning to mid day sun, then is dappled. The area to the left is shaded by a white pine.
