Q.Shade and rock, what wii grow?
I have a yard that is mostly in shade except for winter. I am also on a top ridge of a hill that is mostly rock,with just a few inches of soil. I am also unable to do much work due to disability. I would like to plant annuals. What do you recommend. I am in the foothills of the smoky Mountains.
