    Oh my goodness, I was also at the Grand Garden show a couple of years ago and got a tiny hydrangea! I couldn't remember what kind it was, so I was excited when you said you were there and that the hydrangea was a tiny quick fire. It truly is a small world 😊

      Bethany, you should consider adding ajuga or wild strawberry plants to your “parkway” garden bed. Both are tough, shade tolerant, and fairly salt tolerant.

    For the deck, a lovely weeping norway spruce or other weeping evergreen would be fantastic and take some room to be a great background set for other plants.

    Wow - amazing use of space! She should definitely have hosta in pots on the new shade deck, maybe she can make some sort of pot lids to keep them from getting water logged during the winter.

    The tag from my Grand Garden Tour is LITTLE Quickfire, which is perfect for my space. It didn’t occur to me that they gifted several varieties. Luckily someone on the return ferry ride didn’t want to travel with theirs so I came home with two!

    For tomatoes in a container, try Better Boy. They are my favorite because the taste good, are smaller than beefsteak but bigger than romas, can be pruned short or tall, withstand all kinds of weather and abuse.

    This tour was going down memory lane for me. I used to work at Children's Memorial in Lincoln Park prior to the new hospital being built on the Gold Coast. I would take walks at lunchtime in Lincoln Park that looked similar to this one, and loved seeing the container gardens and parkway gardens. I have not yet found any other city that matches the uniqueness of these older Chicago neighborhoods. It was fun to see what this creative gardener has done with her space in back. I always wished that I could see those "secret" gardens which were not visible from the sidewalk.

    Yes, put those pots on drip. I did that the second year I had them. It makes it so much easier. During the hot summer days, I felt I had to water every few hours. Thanks for showing us a "Not Your Garden" tour. I have seen some of her videos before. She helped me with over wintering things.

    I’m going to irrigate some pots at the edge of my driveway that I’m tired of hand watering. I use the black 1/4” supply tube with brown 1/4” drip tube with emitters spaced every 6”. Each pot has 2-4 emitters, depending on pot size. I haven’t needed to hand water my deck pots all summer. I don’t know why I didn’t think of using this system on my driveway pots, as it’s close to a supply line. It’s on the project list for next spring.
