Shady, this is the my Polystichum tsus-simense. I started gardening last year. Polystichum tsus-simense was purchased last year. The Himalaya maidenhair fern was bought this year. So far they look good in this shady garden.

Three years ago, we moved to this house. This is our first house. The owner was renting it out. So everything was overgrowing. At the side of the house which now is my shady garden has lily of valley and sensitive, male fern growing there except they were really overgrown. Last year, I remove most of old plants and started my own garden. Now I have ferns, camellias, epimedium, chinese mayapple, bloodroot, medow rue, two clumping bamboo, twinleaf etc growing there.

There is a 6 feet tall Rhododendron on the side. I am asking my husband to move it so I can have a arbor there.
