New Gardener Needs Help With Shade Plants

gottabegreen
14 years ago

Hi Everyone! I'm very new to gardening and I just moved to a new house with a whole new gardening experience available to me. I have an area that I can garden in, however, its very shady. By very shady I mean only a couple of hours a sun a day. The soil also stays very moist for a long time after a rain and/or snow. I've been watching this area to see what I can do in terms of gardening. Does anyone have any suggestions for shade plants that require a very moist soil in the Midwest? I've been doing some research online but get very mixed messages regarding what will work in an area that stays wet most of the time. I'd also like to plant the seeds in the dirt versus doing it in the house. I'm out of room in the house as I'm germinating over 72 seeds for other gardening areas around the house. Thanks, in advance, for your help!
