My neighbor's, on the other hand, is in in my line of sight. P.S. it did take my milkweed about three seasons to get that wonderful fluff.

And maybe try some Chinese Houses (I could start them in 4 inch pots and sneak them into the containers after they've started blooming).Town Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777461911856383480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-67005299134025695312009-11-02T18:25:11.790-08:002009-11-02T18:25:11.790-08:00It looks smashing and fabulous.

I'm sure they'll put on an even greater show when the iris blooms in springtime. Maybe you could get a gigantic pot and try a ribes sanguineum...Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-91698965589472438132009-11-02T06:21:49.438-08:002009-11-02T06:21:49.438-08:00Really nice!

We had a hose horror on the slope below my dad's cottage - a hose left conveniently there for him to fill the birdbath across the driveway - but no bib nearby so it sprawled down the slope. I splurged on one of those nice ceramic tubs you coil hoses into, blue like some of your pots. Now we have one hose line down to the tub, which I nestled level into the bottom of the slope, and he only needs to uncoil and coil about 8 feet of hose to get to the bird bath. The driveway looks so much neater now. I love those things!Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-21948892064748025502009-11-02T05:58:46.980-08:002009-11-02T05:58:46.980-08:00Love it, love it.

Most of my garden is hand-watered, so I'm familiar with all these dangerous species coiled around the spaces. I definitely should try to hide them better, like you've done.lostlandscape (James)http://soenyun.com/Blognoreply@blogger.com
