I don't have seeds, but I have a couple ideas. If you want something just for this season, you might try mammoth sunflower seeds. They require quite a bit of water, but they make a tall, sturdy natural fence. In front of the basic mammoth sunflower picket fence you can fill in with other flowers for more privacy. There are other varieties of sunflowers such as maximillan which grow to 6' and are branching. At the same time you can plant poplar trees. They grow quickly and in a few years you'll have a screen. They'll be beautiful for about 20 years. Another longer term solution would be lilac bushes. I'm in Nebraska and they grow 12' high although it takes several years and they last a long time. They also bloom in the spring and smell like heaven. Heidi

I've transplanted fully fruiting large indeterminate plants several times. Just don't water immediately before you do this transplant. That's to make sure the roots and growing medium (mix) can remain together and not crumble away. Get some help to tend to the stems and foliage while you do the heavy work. Here's what I'd do. Go back to that Home Depot and look around the garden supplies for a ~15 gallon container. They used to sell a blue tub for about $6.00 and it had rope handles. Drill some holes in the sides about 2 to 3 inches above the bottom. Don't drill directly into the bottom. Now, place the tub in its final assigned position. Put about 3 to 4 inches of fresh potting mix into the tub. Now, take a flat piece of wood or metal (the small paint paddles work fine) and make sure the plant's root ball and mix is not stuck to the sides of the 5 gallon bucket. Grab the tomato plant's stem way down close to the top of the growing medium in the 5 gallon bucket and gently lift the plant out of the bucket. Place the plant's root ball into the center of the new tub and stand it up. Now add new potting mix all around, filling the new tub up. Pack (tamp) it in to firm up the whole thing. Now water it in, reinstall any support systems, and you're done. Depending on how much foliage you have to deal with, you may need someone to help support the branches while you remove the plant from the bucket and set it into the tub. I've done a Yellow Pear before. The last plant I did was a Cherokee Purple. Ted

Be sure to leave room for structural maintenance and repair access. Try star jasmine, it likes shade and - unlike the much overused evergreen clematis for instance - doesn't shoot out long rapid growing stems that quickly get away from you. Or have large leaves that produce a coarse, often overbearing texture. There are plantings of star jasmine all over Seattle and all independent outlets in the area stock it. The only significant drawback to planting this choice this far north is it being hardy to something like 15 degrees F. But Cliff Mass thinks the local winters have gotten warmer. Also star jasmine seems to have a problem with conspicuous discoloration of the leaves in full hot sun planting positions. But it wouldn't be subjected to that in your situation.

I haven't had my Kashmir get bigger than 3-4 feet in several years, but you need to be prepared for bigger growth if it is happy, particularly if Ratdogheads gets that larger growth. A shorter type of rose that is often sold at Lowes and other local stores would be any of the "Drift" roses. Those stay around 2' tall and spread out gently in the rose bed. Among the Easy Elegance roses, my Pinktopia and Como Park have stayed a manageable height, but they're on the cold side of my house and might get bigger if warmer. Don't believe Sunrise Sunset when it lists 2' as the height. It wants to conquer serious territory and it's one of my biggest climbers. If I left the canes off my trellis, it wouldn't be tall, but I wouldn't use it for a foundation planting without a very sturdy trellis for it to climb. Cynthia
