Bare yard needs some life!

Hi there:


I've recently moved into a new house. The yard was bare except for two 100-year-old trees. The yard has a very steep slope, and gets a good mix of sun and shade. My soil pH is 5.7, and it's clay/loamy. Any seeds or plants you can spare would help me a great deal! I'll post pictures as soon as I have something to show. I'm a baby gardener - only three years. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Christina,


welcome to the site , i'm sure you'll get some good ideas here... not a good idea to post your address on the site, there is a way to send people your email address off public broadcast... the veterens can tell you how... good luck with the new gardens!
