Hell Strips

Portland city streets have a strip of land between the curb and the sidewalk. It's called the Hell Strip, because as my friend Denise says, it's hell to plant in that space...not much grows. Well, I always thought that roses needed tlc...well here in Portland, they plant these awesome gardens in these Hell Strips. The bushes/hedges come up to my nose...and that's about 4 1/2 feet.
