Hey friends, up in Jasper GA in the Blue Ridge Mountains, what would you plant to begin improving the soil? Zone 7, constant dappled shade, rocky thin soil, alkaline from the marble deposits, on a slope, and subject to depredation from deer and turkeys. I'm thinking nasturtium, beans, passionflower, maybe lupine, maybe Salvia lyrata--what else? I'm trying to help my mom with her yard!
