At either side of the back door is a narrow border that hardly gets any sun, I've tried all types of plants to no avail. They either go leggy or die, so
I've decided to gravel the area and use it for pots that are either in flower or going over. I had a cornered planter and a round planter at the old house
and decided to make use of them here. I've put one near the back door and the other on the patio area. Still work in progress, but getting there.

Really lovely, and very sensible. How many of us struggle with bits of garden that are in total shade, and we plant and hope, and face
disappointment again. Much better idea all together......you might get a few folks copying that idea.Nice planters/pots aswell

Excellant idea, Saph!
They look fantastic and just the thing for that difficult spot. I think, Rich especially is going to love the looks of those.

I really love your idea Saph and the planters all look sooo good. The corner one looks looks as though it belongs exactly where it is.
