Plantaholic's Back Fence garden
Plantings (21)
Progress Journal (11)
Wish List (0)
This garden spans the back fence….and has been another “work in progress” for a few years now. Plants have come and gone….thought I would like them, started from seed, gave them a season, then off to the “plant graveyard”. The back fence itself is chain link and covered in 3 virginia creeper plants we purchased when we bought the house…to do exactly what they are doing, giving us privacy from the parking lot behind us. The neighbours, bless them all, have cut down or trimmed their trees in the years we’ve been here, so this garden now gets some sun during the day. Will continue to add to this garden until it’s brimming with plants that will “permanently” stay there…at least until my scheme changes!
