garden

This year I've been developing the space with a garden.

To cover up some unlovely walls, I put in a sweet autumn clematis and a "blueberry vine." Both of these can be aggressive but the shade slows them down. I also put in a moonlight hydrangea vine against the newly refinished side of the building, which gets good light.

I've started some scented plants, in addition to the existing roses: two bushes, a viburnum and a daphne, and some thyme. I grew some night-scented stock from seed as well.

My other focus has been white flowers and grey leaves that show beautifully at night, so I had some white penta and some bacopa, both very beautiful, and some dusty miller for the leaves.
