I've seen this site before -- it seemes like a good one for perennials in
the PNW area. Of course, microclimes and such may mean that you have
different requirements.

I like the plant lists and the pictures -- especially how it looks in
different seasons.

Please help a relocated girl from Chicago pick out some perennials for
her new Portland-area flower beds and rock gardens. Huge property,
much shade - some areas get *some* sunlight (a few hours per day).

Also, how do I permanently get rid of blackberries without resorting
to Tritox or some such horrible thing? They just laughed at the
Round-Up.

TIA for any help - I'm on a steep learning curve, and have been
weeding furiously. Any good book recs are also welcome.
