It is so exciting to live in such an old house full of so much history. It's a good thing your hubby is able to renovate himself.

I told her how you were renovating it and she posed the great idea that whenever you are done renovating you should hold an open house.

You might find some inspiration at the Salem Garden Club Garden Tour coming up this weekend (July 11-12) as many of the gardens are smaller courtyard or pocket gardens. It's centered in the McIntire District around Chestnut Street. My own garden at #7 is on the tour, not that I'm blowing my own horn! Congratulations!

Think shrubs that have a full 4-season effect. Peony leaves die down by mid-late July, lilacs do not have greens all year. You need to mix it in with boxwoods, varigated shrubs and you want to create privacy. People will see you do everything and your stuff will be exposed. I think creating a cocoon effect will be cozy.

And your flowers look amazing - I'd definitely go with the lilac just for the smell alone, but if you could fit in both the tree peony would look amazing. I can't wait to see how much progress you will have made by this time next year! Hooray – I'm so glad the hole is gone!
