I have a Jeckyll and Hyde Garden.
One side is sunny (south facing) and could grow anything-in fact the main task seems to be just trying to prevent it becoming a jungle in the summer.
The other side is basically a bog. Really wet, and shady all the time except in the morning, until around eleven.
I am not a very experienced gardener, so anything I plant needs to be extra hardy!
I would like to cover the fence on the shady side, so climbers would be good, and little boys use it, so any shrubs that like shade, which could grow to become denworthy might be nice.
I am trying some veg on the sunny side, so would also be interested in any veg/fruit that would grow in a bog. Should I start a rice paddy?
