I was surprised to see such a healthy, huge hydrangea. It is a focal point that adds interest to your lovely house. I think the porch step area is comfortably large enough and maybe using a creative porch roof (lattice, etc.) would accommodate a renovation while keeping peace for the owners.

Nice as a waterfall - it is quite a fast grower.. Hope this plant doesn't "escape".

What a nice way to add height to one side of a gentle slope. Nicely done

That photo brought a smile! Thanks for such an easy idea to create a gift.

I enjoyed the native Thalictrum fendleri , var.Polycarpum (Mountain Rue) grown in Carpinteria CA. A light spirited, 2-5 ft.tall perennial.

Your photo should be on a ad cover for "Container Plants." It certainly would bring smiles and encouragements to "go with the flow" type gardening. Maybe I'll get some gopher photos to smile about.

Having that open net, wire fence certainly gives that space some breathing room as well as light. Thanks for sharing.

You have to be one of the luckiest gardeners I have heard of - to have self sowing plants that can arrange so lovely a getaway space. The reds are very striking.

What a great idea. I have some native clematis growing up a fence and need to fill in along the edge of a stone wall - this chicken wire idea is just what will work. I would enjoy seeing more of your garden ideas.

I love to share S. Calhoun's THE HOT GARDEN and YARD FULL OF SUN. He is a joy to read as well as to view his amazing photos. Wonderful inspirations - can't wait for this book as well.

Shake Away did not have results for me in southwest UT. Instead, I redeposit my native fox's scat into newly dug gopher tunnels. Results are fewer new tunnels.
