Hollyhocks, chicory, and sweet peas - whatever wants to find it's way in that protected area along the fence can stay and grow.
I'm gardening in the dry brown of Boulder, Co. My garden helpers include a herd of deer that let me know which plants are wildlife resistant. We get blizzards, thunderstorms, hail, lightening, occasional tornados, drought, floods,& hurricane-force winds here so it's a challenge. Oh, and the soil is rocky.
