Thanks to everyone for the kind words about the new bed that Charlene and I started.   Thanks too Charlene for doing the posts for me.   I didn't even realize that she had taken that many.  LOL   See how observant i can be.  lol


I will probably be changing some things around however.   I didn't realize how much rain that coming off the roof and it can be hard on the plants below.  There aren't any rain gutters.  I have already moved 2 of the hosta's.  Guess i never noticed when those bushes were there.


Thanks again everyone!!!   This is truly the place to be!!!!................................larry

You did a great job on your new bed. I have some hosta plants and daylilies in front of the house under a overhang. When it really rains hard the hosta will be in standing water until the rain water dissipates, Haven't lost one yet.

I don't have gutters on my house either.  You learn to plant either in front of or behind the "drip line".  Hasn't been a problem yet.

Of course if that is an area where it comes off like a waterfall from the  roof then you will need to re-think.  LOL  I have one spot like that & it is right over my back door so nothing planted there but I try not to open  that door during a heavy rain.  You feel like you are standing behind Niagra Falls if you do.

Welcome,  I don't have much planted under the roof line, my house is just set up too funny.  I also have gutters on the front of the house and the back of the house.

Good to know about the rain coming off the roofs, will tell DD about that.
