Hi Ingrid - the wires are spaced about every four bricks and run through 'vine eyes' that are driven or screwed into the mortar about every six or eight feet, and hold the wire a few inches from the surface. That way the taut wires follow the line of the mortar and are pretty much invisible. If you intend to cover an entire wall it is best to wire it properly before you start :) The rose canes are tied neatly to the wires with green jute twine. This will only last a season or two, but that is good as it makes you think about pruning and re-tying each year :) Hope this helps. Thanks for your kind comments.

Hi Cecilia, I think I'd be staying home also if I had all those beautiful well grown plants to drool over when ever I wanted to. Really outstandingly neat, clean, tidy, well grown plants. In your second last pic you say "most of the time, the garden is in a mess". Wow what a mess! even the pink hose colour blends in beautifully with the plant colours, you certainly have an eye for colour presentation. As for pic 13 "ID?", it looks a bit similar to some of my concentrica seedlings from my first ever lot of babies, grown under 50% shade cloth. So maybe a concentrica hybrid of some sort. I don't think pic 15 is Rosea Striata, the radial lines are not as pronounced and the leaves are not as wide. This is a pic of my 3/4 grown Rosea Striata pup before the centre really coloured up for comparison. All the best, Nev.

Mary, pickerelweed does very well in sun or part shade. Likes a lot of moisture and can live in up to 2' of water. Annie the purple Monarda is "Claire Grace". I like it a lot, especially with the Monarda "Raspberry Wine". Lynne you are pretty close to me. I'm probably less than 5 miles from the Johnston County Airport, off hwy 210. My horses have helped a lot with the Monarda. Carol, yes, Monarda can take a year or two to get going. And it's a heavy feeder. In my garden it spreads like mad in rich soil, gobbles up all of the organic matter, and then recedes again. Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

Thanks for the comments everyone!!! Kyle, I live about 100 miles northwest of Houston. No injury from the fence, but did get quite a jolt. I somehow just did not believe a solar powered electric fence could produce a shock with that kind of intensity. Angie, the Celebrity plants are doing well although fruit set on them is well below the numbers on other varieties. All indeterminate plants are approaching the four foot stage. garf, one key this year to excellent foliage is the lack of rain. If I had my choice, I would prefer plenty of rain but one advantage of the extra dry conditions this year is that the foliage has also remained dry and that helps keep many of the potential foliage issues in check.

It is a yellow David Austin, not sure anymore what the exact name is. I've had it for about 6 years now and lost the tag.

Thanks for all the nice comments! I have been into gardening for a few years but I was recently laid off so I have some extra time on my hands to devote to my garden. Darn mortgage industry lol!

Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing. I particularly love that really BLUE passionflower. Do you know which one that is? The Lady Margaret is gorgeous, and the nun's orchid is fantastic. Do you have it in sun or shade? I've thought about trying that one, but haven't yet.
