Beautiful rooftop garden! And I love the use of that canopy! I expect that is better and gives more coverage than the usual patio umbrella sets! You have to give a rundown on what all is out there (as if I have any room left...lol).

thanks jenny!

yes, the tent was $30 on sale a Target, and does provide much more shelter than umbrellas. also a sense of a "garden room" room without being too boxed in.

a list of what's there, off the top of my head:

a couple clematis
lillies
coreopsis
monarda
snaps
pansies
groundcover roses
peony
salvia
cosmos
impatients
those coracopa petunias or whatever they are
magilla perilla
magilla vanilla
campanula
alyssum
bishop's monk (?)
day lillies
purple robe
white veronica
lillac
lobelia
mint
basil
cilantro
nasturtims
hydrangea
silver falls
lantana
a clover of some kind
echinacea
columbine
coleus
morning glories
a burning bush plant
dianthus
bleeding heart
cousa dogwood

um, there's more, but I'll stop. hoo boy, I have to check my self into rehab...

but thanks for letting me share!

Thanks for the list and good timing for finding a great buy at Target! Is your Kousa of blooming age? One of my sisters has one in her front yard and my other sister and I sortof chuckle because she yearly complains that it was the wrong dogwood that her landscaper planted (she wanted a pink Cornus florida and not a white Cornus kousa). Still, they are just as dramatic, but in their season.

And many of us will have to join you at rehab - we'll make it a group session! LOL I haven't even begun to do an inventory of what I have (alot of new things this year) but I think I should try one of these days just to get a handle on it. :-o

:-p
