12. Oh! Vincas would be nice alternative

Vinca minor even does decently in shade around here.

I've got one one bed to finish planting for this year - just need to order a load of mushroom compost and topsoil. I was going to do it Wednesday but it rained buckets and we didn't have enough sun yesterday to dry the ground out. Once the new soil is in the raised bed, I've got six azaleas to put in.

Hmmm. Vinca might be a good ground cover to fill in between the azaleas until they get big.

Vinca seems to be more attractive to wildlife than impatiens according to what I'm reading, so I'd like it better anyway.
