I absolutely LOVE Wisterias and have one on the house, one on the railings and built a pergola to house another couple... 2 white, 2 different colours purple.

Hanneke Mar 2021 12:16pm, 19 Mar 2021 71,575 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke Actually, should have done all of that earlier this week, but moved to tomorrow, as I was promised i'd have the car back today... the shitty little thing is up to nothing! It barely gets up the hills here with my tools in the back, let alone 50 kgs of chicken food and it is small enough for me to touch the back windscreen when in the driving seat...

The Great Raemondo Mar 2021 12:34pm, 19 Mar 2021 7,463 posts	Quote Pin The Great Raemondo I am also a big wisteria fan - we were lucky enough to inherit a well established one when we bought this place and have to be constantly vigilant to stop it taking over the whole garden and subsuming the garage. When we build the pergola over the brunch terrace we plan to add some sort of climber, either a wisteria or a jasmine I think.

My neighbour planted one about 15 years ago and I’m still trying to hack back the fucking thing from invading my garden I have that rose, Hann It’s a bit big for the wall I have, it needs 2 storeys rather than the one I gave it

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
