Chris, It will be good to see what comes up!

I'm not planting but I have been planning.

After planting annuals last spring and then some perennials after that I decided that the latter is the way to go. I've planted hyssop,lavender and some others to attract hummingbirds. The area I have is an L shape. I have a floor to ceiling window. The hummingbird plants are hidden from foot traffic but I can look into into the corner of that L area and view my plants from there.

At the top of the L shape is the area I need to plant a climbing rose in. It is open to foot traffic and the pool. A climbing rose in the corner will either be a nice fragrant screen or a haven for bees. I hope not. My planning doesn't include bee control.
