Hi from the UK

[gi77on]

Just saying hello from the North West of the UK!

Summer is just coming to an end so I'm looking forward to working on my indoor growing a bit more over the coming months. My garden is a nice size complete with a pond, rockery and a lot of Russian Vine.

I also collect Cacti.

Just on here to learn more about gardening and hopefully have some good conversation along the way!

Welcome to the forums gi77on. As the crow flies you are not to far away from me.

Russian vine, you have a battle on your hands with that.

Hi
I have Russian vine grown on the back trellis fence and its regularly clipped and looks neat and tidy , I have been waiting for my native mixed hedge to grow up on the other side of the fence so its done its job of hiding people out and I will be replacing with a grape vine or two to grow along the decking trellis,

enjoy the forum

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, Russian Vine has been a right battle, I have clematis growing alongside it also! I began chopping it back (the Russian Vine) last week and I rediscovered my trellis that had been hidden beneath it for years. It's a shame because I feel it has such a beautiful quality when it hangs over my garden, giving it a very wild look, but it just took over so trimming was a must!

It's a plant I've resisted introducing to my garden down the years, I've seen how it takes over.
