Dp and I are having a big do over in the garden to try and get it looking at least vaguely presentable and useable for summer! We have a fair bit of gravel plus a small patio and decking which we want to keep. No lawn but we do have a few raised beds down the sides of the fences which we need to completely dig over and replant.
We will be trying to do some edible stuff in pots dotted about and in one small bed which gets the sun so those are no issue but the biggest bed is by the fence and is north facing so doesn't get the sun. It's open to the sky but the fence means it's in shade all the time and doesn't get direct sunlight. In addition, next door's garden is completely concreted/gravelled over and so every time it rains the water drains away under the fence and the north facing bed gets waterlogged. I know a lot of plants hate having 'wet feet' and will rot if left too wet too much of the time so I'm struggling to find anything suitable to plant in there.
Any ideas? So far hostas seem to be the main thing that consistently is recommended for these conditions but ideally I'd like to put a mixture of stuff in. We don't have a big budget so any work will have to be done ourselves.
TIA 😁😁
