Sorry about the accidental edit, I posted my answer in your post.

Also, I forgot to mention azaleas! They are low-maintenance and do well in shade. They flower in May in the Northeast, possibly earlier in TN.
Now I know what those soil samples were that we used to ship when I managed a FedEx Office store. I’m not sure if they were soil samples for the same purpose as mine but they were samples we’d ship. They were always from one of the local colleges/universities out here. All of this useful info is in my notes on my phone.

One thing about GC, there’s a lot educated people on here, so at least someone knows something about whatever question one might have. It just takes a thread start about it Lol.

What zone are you in? I am a gardener and live in zone 9. I try to buy mostly native plants for my landscaping as it gets very hot here in Texas and I need drought tolerant plants. I have 2.5 acres and also have 11 raised beds and grow tomatoes, squash (4 types), cucumbers, eggplant, blackberries, dill, basil, parsley and milkweed (I have a large butterfly garden). I usually put shade cloth over the entire garden as it gets very hot. It is suppose to be over 100 for the next week so I will have to water pretty much everyday. I have a well but it dried up last year so I am having to use city water until it fills back up which hopefully, being a La Niña year, will be this fall. There are some great garden videos on you tube-I highly recommend Garden Answer and The Millennial Gardener. Gardening is my passion and if I am not at work I am outside in my garden. Good luck! I find gardening very therapeutic 😊

I’m in central daylight time zone if that’s what you mean. Otherwise, I’m not sure what you mean by zone.
