The front walkway looked terrible, owing to the fact that nothing wants to grow under the heavily shaded porch.  Of the plants I put in last year, only the iris, two chrysanthemum plants, and a fern lived through the winter.  The hostas, fern #2, and elephant ears either froze to death or got run over by bikes.  I spotted flower stalks on the iris so hopefully I’ll have pretty blue/yellow flowers in a few weeks.

Planted some azaleas, petunias, and trying out some english ivy to cover the barren ground next to our walkway.  I’m hoping the bright indirect sunlight will be enough to keep them all alive.
