Photo heavy! Narrow Sunny Side Yard
Comments (9)Gggrrrrr...must have been a GW quirk that didn't show the January photo when I first re-opened this thread. My apologies for the double post of that photo (I WISH there was some way for the originator of a post to delete it afterwards, as one can on other websites!). Anyway, here's a few photos I found that show a bit more detail on the LH side, upper half, where the two tree roses "Double Delight" and "Delany Sister" reside. This is an older photo and some of these plants didn't work out so were replaced. The little clump of silver-leafed gazania, at the foot of the variegated dianella, was outcompeted by the ceratostigma and eventually died. The vine on the trellis is a purple passiflora. In the above photo, the green groundcover leaning into the walkway, past the second "Ladies in Waiting" pink shrub rose, is Santa Barbara daisy. This is in front of a very pretty mid-height pink-and-white alstroemeria, and surprisingly, has never managed to overrun it. It makes a super companion to the roses when cutting for the vase. This is a more recent photo. Bottom left you can see the "Ruby Comet" argyranthemum. This is an improved descendant of "Ruby Slippers" which was super-tender. "Comet" seems much more hardy, it hardly blinked this winter. That flourishing bright green plant at the foot of "Delany Sisters" is....flat leaf parsley! Worked great and I think I may try to keep one regularly here. It did a great job hiding the tree rose 'legginess'. The small yellow flowers are those of the yellow erysimum, when it was young and sitting up straight, not leaning into the pathway as it does now, LOL:...See MoreWhat to plant up the sides of a shade structure?
Comments (4)Too bad about the solar panels, you have the perfect set-up for wisteria, kiwi, and grapes, but they will quickly cover the panels. I'm thinking the sunny side would be perfect for one of my favorite roses- Graham Stuart Thomas. This is not technically a climber, but in California reaches about 8 feet if happy. It has been disease free and continuous blooming all summer long for me in the central valley. Some of the smaller climbers would work as well, two of my favorites are Altissimo, and Don Juan, both dark red. A small vine that tolerates some shade is Sollya heterophylla, an evergreen with true-blue bell shape flowers all summer. And there's always star jasmine...

Comments (9)My favorite of the bunch is Patsy Carpenter. For some reason I think yellows are the most under-rated color, maybe because there are so many....but I alway find them captivating. They just make me feel happy all over. Celeste...See MoreNEW: Incredible Edibles February Swap Sunny Side Of Life
Comments (82)Becky I ordered from them when I first started swapping, you have to be careful of the amount of seeds you get in the packages. I found that almost all the packs were opened a bit on the side at the very bottom and seeds were falling out. Other than that their seeds are of good quality and nicely priced. :) I went to Target yesterday, they have a great clearance rack full of gardening stuff. Unfortunately I didn't see anything that I could/would use or needed. :( I found their seeds too! They had Burpee Fordhook line, and the Sean Conway seeds. I noticed that the selection of Burpee seeds were completely different than the Burpee seeds I have found at Walmart and Lowes. :D YAY! I had the twins with me and they were not letting me look too much, so I only got a few packs, gonna check out a few more places this weekend and see what I can find....See More- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years agodcarch7 d c f l a s h 7 @ y a h o o . c o m thanked HU-864750314
