Had a few responses to my 8/27 post and wanted to add that my test plot
was small (if you don't like it there could be significant weeding
involved!) and in full sun.

Another small patch of my yard is in full shade and north of a 4-story
apt. bldg. under 50' trees. This, of course, alternates between
appalling moss in wet years and mostly bare ground in these drought
years. Here, Alan has widened bedding plants on all sides and we're
working on understory with snowbells, ferns, violets, evergreen
clematis, hepatica triloba, akebia, vincas, St. John's Wort, epimedium,
hellebores, daphnes, pieris, snowberries, huckleberries, salmonberries,
salal, etc. (SAS plant sale 9/11!)

Good luck! (Just think of how in shape you'll be!)
