That is Phil standing next to the first hollyhock we grew in the gardens in the summer, 2006.
The sweet peas did great here and elsewhere in the gardens, as you can see in other photographs.
Having never gardened prior to moving into this house, I was astounded by the size of this hollyhock, which continued to grow to about fourteen feet.
You can see to the right of Phil a container holding a cactus and several impatiens in bloom.
Right now the impatiens' descendants are springing up all over the gardens. We're relocating a few, giving several away to friends, and moving the rest to a public staircase not far from the house.
