Hi, the back third of my garden is in full shade pretty much throughout the growing season. Its a big chunk of my garden and I have recently laid a new lawn. Will the grass be OK in constant shade?. I keep it watered so it wont be dry.

Peter,

If it is a grass designed to grow in shade then it will be okay - if it is not then no amount of watering will work - all it will do is encourage moss which will crowd out the grass... but at least it would be green.

I would choise shade loving plants like Hosta's and ferns, there are also some roses which will tollerate the shade as well... make the most of the conditions do not struggle with them.
