eman, your garden is gorgeous. Did you create it yourself, or did you hire a landscaper?

i love to garden... and being a contractor, im way too cheap to pay anyone for anything...it changes week to week, since some things work out as planned, and some things dont..

eman, you gonna stucco that brick, or what?

why would i do that?... i will try to get some woodbine or morning glory to take hold in the crack.. similar to the wreck of a tool shed in the left background

Most all of our gorgeous irises toppled over when we were out of town last the weekend. Bummer! Yours are looking straight :)

Agree with eman, Denton, no stucco. That's one of my favorite features of his garden, and also the "wreck of a tool shed" back there, but what an interesting wreck. Agree too about the morning glories. Mine are already headed up the fire escape. Last year, late summer, a wall of blue.
I love to garden too. But being a contractor never stopped my friend Alice's husband from hiring people. Usually right after Alice pointed to something she had been waiting for for years and said, Haven't you ever heard the story about the shoemaker's children having no shoes?
You have such a green thumb and a great eye for color and pattern.

Wow. That is one beautiful garden! And, hell no, to stucco on the cracked column. Not that it's needed, but that little imperfection gives your garden added "character." Very nice!

Love your garden, especially the ruins and the overall "ancient" casualness.
Not a great fan of topiary, but even the boxwood or privet work so well in combination with your columns/pedestals. Love the reds, too, but can't quite
make them out...barberry and Japanese maple?
