Why isn't my garden growing??

Question

I planted some vincas, heather and liriope around the base of some oak trees in my backyard. I planted one on a saturday and the next one on that sunday but only one of them is flourishing. Any ideas why? I am pretty sure the shade level is the same, they both get some filtered light during the day and i water them the same.

oak tree change the soil to a acidic level that many plants don't like.  Try making a large hole with some compost to help with the PH of the soil

Answer 3

Vinca likes the full sun and it doesn't need alot of water.
