There are not many things that will grown in clay. Annuals make a good stab at it - but you have to replace them every year! If you add these components, you will not only have thriving annuals, but you can have healthy perennials that come back every year. Just make sure you pick ones that are suited for the areas amount of sun and water.<br />Happy gardening!!The Vegetarian Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509828621100109329noreply@blogger.com
