I was never into gardening, but last summer I bought my mom some zone 8-10 perennials at Lowe's and we live in zone 7b. She's disabled and looking at the flowers outside of the windows is her getting some nature. After wintering 5 plants and saving them all* I got a bit of a gardening bug. Bought the above rose as an impulse buy and I've since planted 7 more roses (they look like twigs sticking out of dirt), 5 azaleas (that lost their flowers after transplanting...the leaves look fabulous), 5 lilies, and some coleus and pansies in a low light box. I also bought 8 more nearly dead roses from the clearance rack at Kroger and they're on the verge of blooming. I'll have a nice setup next year once everything starts growing and is in bloom for an entire season.
Nice garden. I have family that grows the other kinds of flower both legally and illegally in an indoor setup.
I'm laughing so hard at "the corn didn't grow because of the cats".
If you want some long-term camouflage, there are a lot of rose varieties that grow over 2m tall, 1m wide, and survive the winter in your zone. The downside is that they look damn pretty so they risk attracting eyes.
For the one that's growing too fast and you don't know what to do, buy some Hormex Private Messages and clone that sucker. I'm experimenting with Hormex Number 8 and some begonias.
