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.

View attachment 19082832 After a great season outside at 42.2N with GMGrape, Mountain Gold and Purple Satellite and even without trying any of the smoke yet I figured I needed to round things out and get the Zacateca for next year. Sometimes ya gotta have a little faith.

Then I saw the Oaxacan Gold pop up on North Alantic.
Hadn't really heard anything so I waited a few days. No official announcements. Maybe trouble with the hurricane?

Decided to just go for it and not miss the opportunity to grab some og genetics in case they were a limited drop from his Skull 79.
Looking forward to next year already. 🫘

Got the Purple Sat and the Mountain Gold in the stash, hehe.

Will the Oacacan Gold be availible in spain? And when?

Thanks

Thanks to all for the great ideas for growing outside. Unfortunately, my lot is heavily wooded precluding doing so. I keep trying to convince my wife we need to take a couple of trees down, but you can imagine how that went...

Good on ya, they're really great strains, my favourites again this year.

Vman mentioned that he was only able to produce enough Oaxacan fem for N America this year, hopefully there'll be more for europe next year.

I still have some concerns about the other half of the Oaxacan fem - I'm a northern outdoor grower, the Oax Skull is well adapted, but has the other half been tested and grown in a northern setting outdoors?

Will be great to find out before but I'll be sowing them anyway, There's some mountain gold pollen in the freezer destined..

Coppicing deciduous trees extends their lifespan.. what species and age? Some like sweet chestnut will coppice as a very old tree, some species reach an age where they wont regrow.. may convince her!
