Re: Suggestions please


And the good point is it can be have a nic scent. In fact if planted alongside the summer jasmine with the lovely white flowers that would be good as that too has a heavenly scent in mid summer. The odd honeysuckle thrown in too would be good, you can almost smell the rich scent on the evening breeze it would throw out in summer. Plus being woody honeysuckle would be brilliant to attract birds.

You don't have trouble with the honeysuckle taking over the garden? It's worse than the bamboo in my yard; can't keep ahead of it! Love the scent, but it's so invasive.... But isn't the Winter jasmine cheerful when nothing else is in bloom...I love it!

Re: Suggestions please


Off to garden centre.
Should I just plant these along the wall? No real planning?
Or should they be planted in some sort of order?
Sorry but have never done any sort of gardening other than house plants and cut the bloody grass

If you are going for the Ivy then seperate them with something else, so Ivy, Winter Jasmine, Ivy,....like that.

Re: Suggestions please


Ok, it was raining this morning so after i had cleaned the house and litter boxes etc, my sister and I set off to the Happy Plant. I bought 2 ivy's, 2 honey suckles and 2 clematis.
This afternoon was overcast with some sunny spells so I came home and set about work in the garden. Cut the grass, pulled out all the thistles (ouch) and dug up around the side of the shed and half of the wall.
Plants are in, bird feeders are up so fingers crossed it will all take shape.
Sorry no pictures, I dropped the camera and think I have broken it .

Sounds good to me too, chum! Were the clematis in flower? Those at our garden centre are. Speak sharply to the camera and tell it to start working, cause we want pics!
