Or, you could put a huge pot there, that wouldn't need to be watered as often. I like your idea of putting in some lattice with vines.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-56120484953880813752010-07-22T20:12:20.637-05:002010-07-22T20:12:20.637-05:00Thanks Ami.

I hope you get some Monarch butterflies stop by soon.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-36578975885162249422010-07-22T20:09:47.203-05:002010-07-22T20:09:47.203-05:00Hi Kathleen, I think there's just too much com...Hi Kathleen, I think there's just too much competition from the roots of the trees on the other side of the wall but I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for the suggestion, it sounds lovely if it can hold it's own in that area.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-8984649831911508572010-07-21T21:44:12.826-05:002010-07-21T21:44:12.826-05:00Nice butterfly photos!

Now they are bouncing back, but I just can not see the butterflie... :( <br /><br />BTW, that was a excellent project you did for that tree ring. Maybe you can grow something shallow rooted plants in that area, such as succulent plants?Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822343629005349934.post-14424949189964564732010-07-20T23:13:05.752-05:002010-07-20T23:13:05.752-05:00Looks like a monarch to me.

You...Looks like a monarch to me. Congratulations!<br /><br />You might think about some clumping grasses for that spot where trees won't grow.
