3 years ago we enlarged our drive's turn around and removed a fence so we could hire a snowplow. The whole bed gets morning shade, the right side and most of the front get afternoon full sun. My symmetric preferences aren't working out. I also planted $200 of perennials yesterday and then realized some of my selections like foxglove are repeats that died last year. There's a steep hill behind it with ugly woods full of downed trees, swamp maple, invasive bittersweet and poison ivy. We have a herd of 7 deer who won't leave my yard alone. We are zone 5 on Boston's south shore and have some mild winters, some like last year that are -20 F with feet of snow. We use a lot of sodium-chloride on the drive because its steep and our snowbank is on this bed. I wanted forsythia in the back but my husband got sick of trimming old ones. I also have visions of the right side growing taller than the left because of sun exposure. I'd love to add color. Design suggestions desired!!!!!!
