Just to add to your excitement over a new bed, look what we ended up with (almost no weeds because of close planting and the paper under the soil.....I also have fun stuffing straw around everything that I plant to help with weed control and benefit the soil when the straw breaks down)

This is what it looked like when it first started waking up and before the cannas and dahlias completely overtook the area. The rose bushes and climbing roses were not up yet either.

I know that yours will be a shade garden. I have only one of those that I truly love, but I wanted you to see how quickly you will be rewarded with your labor of love!!

Don't forget to show us your progress in this thread.
