These are basil, Japanese climbing cucumber and some different varieties of zinnia...
and here are some sunflowers in the foreground... Yes I am going to try to grow sunflowers on the roof top! Could be dangerous!
A little bulbous surprise in the front garden...
The front garden currently looks absolutely terrible enough for its "before" shot! Regard:
The landlord is renovating the lowest level, so those are some bags of the rubble. And one night, in the twilight hours, I was manic and started to hack back the sidewalk side of the privet hedge. I only got so far as the fence to the neighbors before the light gave out and I gave up to a potential blister on my thumb (no gloves!)
