Ok, here is a picture of my house from this afternoon . . . a bright sunny day. More accurate depiction of the sun it gets. I read back on this thread and realized I kind of contradicted myself re. hosta . . . in one response I sounded like I might like some in front. But I have to say after thinking on it a little more . . . don't really want any in front. But I like the azalea idea. What kind of light is best for a Northern Lights azalea? And how about a small lilac bush to the left of my fence/trellis? I know it was suggested that I get rid of the yews altogether, but I'm having a hard enough time getting DH to dig out the stumps of 3 old ones that he cut down already. So I'm making do for now . . .
