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

    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 😊

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cobaea( Cup and Saucer Vine) is the most beautiful vine , very wild and crazy and show stopping.

    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.
