Weed infested bed and future planning

Hi Twinkle & .. You don't say how big the bed is but if it was me & I wasn't going to grow veg in it then I would dig it all over & get out all the weeds.. You never know your luck, there may be plants in there as well..!! Then I would plant it up as a shady border & have a mix of plants yhat like those conditions.. Doo you have friends who have gardens, they may have spare plants they could give you if they knew you were looking.. Otherwise I would go for Hardy Geraniums lovely clump forming & flowering now.. Ferns are always good in shady areas.. Bergenias.. Heucheras.. You could plant spring bulbs in Sept / Oct time.. Hostas.. Oh & a real little beauty, Pink Sky Rocket.. You can Google these plants & see what you think.. Then you can maybe decide what you like or don't as the case may be.. There are lots of other plants too & you wouldn't be buying them all at once... So have a think about what you would like there..:thumb:
