Spotted Dead Nettle White Nancy
Lamium maculatumSince I’m still having computer problems and can’t access many files or pictures, I’ve been trying to answer my own question about new plants for next year from memory.
One plant I’m sure to add is spotted dead nettle.
I plan to buy some “White Nancy’. I’ve seen this pretty white bloomer in other gardens. It should brighten the dry shade of the large French Lilac. (See Spring Pruning post from May 12, 2010.)
I’ll move some ‘Purple Dragon’ that has done well under a locust tree. It blooms most of the summer.
I hope to get more color around the lilac. It’s a tough place to grow plants - dry and full of roots. Time will tell.
More information on Lamium maculatum ‘White Nancy’ and ‘Purple Dragon’ from Dave’s Garden.
I’ll be on vacation starting next week. Hopefully, when I get back at the end of the month the computer problems will be fixed. I’ll have lots to share of my travels and I will be able to plan for next year’s garden in earnest.
I wish you all a joyful Thanksgiving."Onto better topics"

Yeah plants are always better the second time around. I'm surprised you didn't get more from the chamomile. It's an annual that self seeds like crazy. I only brought one with me to the new place from the apartment, because I know this time next year, there'll be a colony of cham seedlings around this one parent. I kept some of mostly everything in pots so they were easy to move. But some things I had to unearth and repot, and a few really didn't like it, like motherwort, because they were in full bloom when I did it

Shallow rooted annual and perennial herbaceous plants can be planted closer to the drain fields since they do not have invasive roots. Turfgrass can be grown over the drain field and is beneficial since it helps hold the soil in place.
