Gardens aren't deterministic, in my opinion; what you get out isn't determined by what you put in. In some soils, I have neglected like crazy and had bountiful crops; in others, I babied and tended and amended only to have sullenness. And then I gave up and blamed myself, because that's what I do.
The trick, I have finally decided in some despair, is to choose unkillable plants. When the catalog says "Needs a little extra attention", walk away. If it says "invasive"? THAT's your baby.

Daylilies are good in sun; hostas in shade.
