small shady spot
i have a area down the side of my house which is concreted , we keep the guinea pigs down here and the bins, there is a small area quite long but only about 15cm wide and not very deep, it gets plenty of weeds but i would prefer to grow something else, any ideas, it gets plenty of shade
thanks

Foxgloves would probably do well, they don't mind shade although they will lean towards the sunlight, and will grow in the poorest of soils.If I'm over the hill, where was the top?0

Vinca (Periwinkle), Impatients (Busy Lizzie), Ajuga Reptans (Bugle), Convallaria (Lily of the Valley), Ferns, Hosta (loved by slugs). It just depends on if it gets any sun, and how moist it is.My Mind wanders, if found please return.0

Don't grow foxgloves if there is any chance that the guinea pigs might eat the leaves, either from overhanging plants or leaf fall.0

:eek:
Same goes for Convallaria, Narcissus, Galanthus - If you're pets eat them it'll be Guinea Pig Heaven.My Mind wanders, if found please return.0
