Love the knockouts, but really want a climber or two.
“Love the knockouts, but really want a climber or two.”
Gotcha! I love climbing roses. I would be more agreeable to hubby wanting roses if we put some climbers along the fences. The two of us have occasional issues because he would really love a more formal landscape than I. I enjoy attempting to create a more “wild space” appearance in the plantings. It’s funny because my husband and I have both had long careers in industrial drafting. His primary employment has been in manufacturing where things needed to be as orderly and organized as possible. He’d like that carried over in our lawn and home. In my career I excelled in a field where I needed to fit components in the smallest possible space and then make it a little smaller. I like doing the same thing with my gardens. Order doesn’t matter so much, I want many things randomly crammed in small spaces. Since I’m the one with the love of gardening (he’d prefer to hire a landscaper) most of the outside space is arranged by me. But, since he wants a couple of rose bushes beside our garage, I will get them there. Two of them. Evenly spaced in the area in front of our front porch where he likes to sit and have coffee.
