Job's A Good'un

They still have to install a new back gate, but otherwise the work is finished.  The yard may no longer be bushy, but it's neat. When Ailz and I inspected it this morning we were happy to find there are still some stocks of ivy and honeysuckle remaining.

It looks lovely! Somebody else suggested hostas, and I second that. I'm wondering, too, if you could hang a planter or two from the wall, so as to put some flowering stuff up into the light? Neighbors here on "The Hill" do it, because we have narrow streets, four and five storey buildings, and small yards like yours. Some of the "Hidden Gardens of Beacon Hill" are quite well known, and are the focus of a mid-May event - a tour of the said gardens, for which people pay $25 USD. At any rate, a rather spectacular show is possible in these small and shady spaces.

That's a very good idea- about the planters, I mean; I must look into it.

I'm thinking of having a go at the wall with a hammer- and getting that ugly concrete off.

A window box for the window on the right?

Perhaps. There used to be flowerpots there before the great clean-up.
