Great house Kirby.. I love all the windown.. and even a skylight in that room... There's nothing like overhead sky.. do you bring lots inside for the winter.. or do you keep it for yourself.. beautiful garden also.. ...but let me tell you I have every weed.. every nursery within 100 miles has ever had.. they've sold them as a rider with some plant... and it blows in here.. I'm only at about 60' elevation.. like a small hill.. and the animals.. theyy plant everything they get up here.. I remove about a pound of peanuts every year.. these the bushey tailed rats get given to them in the park.. they come up to me knowing my planters will heat up and thaw out a month before the ground.. for an easy late witer awakening feast.... and oat trees.. growing out of lots of planters.. and I can't even see an oak tree from up on the roof.. and everything they want to drop flying over... or stop here to eat... and I grow morning glories.... what other weed get to come in and try to overgrow everything worse that a garden that has had morning glories growing for years plus every bug and disease these merchants of evil sell as well... a few years ago I was complementing the fates as I was sure the 162* F roof would surely preclude slugs.. boy was i wrong.. they have their moist cool and dark decaying food stocked microclime underneath the planters.. although I've not run into many this year..
Keep up the good fight there... love the pictures... never met a garden I didn't like
the picture is of the thin brug planter .. and the start of the plane extending up to be the morning glory sail... the far end from the planter is where this plane intersects the night blooming cereus planter ... it likes it in the morning glories... it enjoys it on the shady side... and is slow to acclimate to the sun on being put out... it likes a long time in the shade cloth.... this year I pushed it early into somecloudy days... and went a long way to fry it brown... but it's green on the other side and the edges are sporting these flowers... just as well you not see it's actual leaves
