Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comWhere I live, the ground soil seems to stay too wet, not drying out very much and so I have been losing whatever I plant. I have looked on the internet and found some plants and shrubs that might do ok in that type of soil. Can you perhaps suggest what you think I might do? I seem to plant and then have to pull them up as they die. HELP PLEASE!

If you cannot improve the drainage to the area, I would suggest turning it into either a bog or rain garden. There are many suitable plants for these conditions. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/spaces/designing-bog-gardens.htm [1]
