Hello everyone,
I am a very new gardner or gardner to be. I have grown up in philadelphia most of my life with only a very small patch of grass to call a garden, now I am moving to a new house in the suburbs. It is new construction... which means that I have brown/redish mud surrounding the entire house. The property is basicly rectangular with the house as a rectangle in the middle and a rectangle of a driveway on the left side. I have aprox 27 ft to the street and 64ft wide along the house (the lot is 100x100) I have made the mistake of buying some plants on ebay and I now have some bare root plants that will probably be dead before I can ever plant them since I have no idea what I am doing. The following is a list of the plants that I purchased. ( common lilac bush(2), double bridal wreath (2), blue nikko hydrangea (2), japanese spindle tree (4), varigated green white hosta (3), gold hosta (2), blue cadet hosta (2), blue liarope (2), elderberry black beauty (1), lambs ears (2), black knight buddleia (1), davidII opera buddleia(2), hazel nut shrub(1), skyrocket juniper(2), and finally sarah bernhardt peony(1). Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.
