A brief respite from the cold winter is always nice and Elena and I made the most of it, staking out this one sliver of porch that gets full sun in February. We used to have a rose trellis in this spot but a) it would get inundated by bugs every year without fail, even when Vincas sprayed it daily and b) neither of us particularly like roses, anyway. Now we’re growing a camellia here for winter interest and summer shade – you can just see the top of its trellis in the bottom of the photograph.
