What do you do with that 1.5-metre-wide dead spot down the side of your house?
Mine runs N-S (ie, gets little direct sunlight). The gap is fenced near the
front of the house, so it's a dead end. The two windows in that wall need
shading. I have thought of putting in a fern garden with a seat at the end,
perhaps with some trees.

If you have a garden down the side of your house, what did you do and why?

Well, my Mum had gobs and gobs of Calla Lilies down her side lane and I
decided that was not for me!

I've got some shade-loving Camellias with nice carpeting violets beneath
them. I collect violets, so there are a few varieties and the smell is
glorious when you walk down that side of the house. Only problem is, we
get a black snake (name of Snidely) coming to visit from time to time
and he likes lurking in the violets! Puts the wind up my husband, who
isn't fond of snakes ;-
