I wanted to plant some Hosta's here but was told that it's too sunny to do that. do they all need shade? their is also a lot of sand here too. is that a problem?
In this area I need some advise as to what to plant. Doesn't get sun all day long.

You may want to lay in some soaker hoses for your hostas, since you have sandy soil. I do too, and I can't garden w/o them. You'll get better results if you don't bury them--but drain them well before winter and flush them in the spring, they should last for years and when your hostas reach their mature size in a couple of years you'll forget the hoses are there.

Thanks for the great ideas and help.
Sandy soil is driving me crazy.
right now I'm trying to only plant a few since our house is going to be going through some reno's next year. So I don't really want to work that hard in there at this time. for it to get a ripped up. Hosta's will be replanted for that time frame.
