Most people won't notice your guerrilla grow in the back yard if you don't stand there oogling it all day! ja ja!

Just to the left of the previous picture my girlfriend maintains extensive gardens that direct/control/confuse the eye.

I was a young lad in the 70's when I read a book that offered growing suggestions. (A Child's Garden of Grass?) I don't recall.

The author offered a good argument for the hide in plain sight garden.
How to use different heights, large splashes of color, depth perception, etc.
I remember they preferred using Cosmos and training the plants low.

It's been a part of my sop's ever since with great success.

But ya, you can't stand next to them and ogle all day. I agree.

It really helps.
I have to be a bit stealthy but once I figured out the sightline of the Housing development behind us.
I just line them all up behind the large pine tree and only have to worry about the house on each side.
Kind of hide in plain site. View attachment 19127155

You should hang silk hibiscus flowers on them lol

Had an humanities prof that I liked, but he did go on and on about 'directing the eye', in artworks. Should work well in a garden. I think 'arrows'. Strong lines that lead the eyes. Bright warm colors attract the eye, dull cool colors are less attractive to the eye. Also, strong 'resting places' for the brain to 'escape to' when there's too much texture going on.

Nice garden! Yes, I use a lot of zinnias, sunflowers, castor plants. Big and colorful things to catch the eye.
