( forgive the spelling ) I can't wait to prune some of it back for the first time and be able to use it.
hehe...my problem-we have around 3,000 sq. meters of land, some of which is occupied with sheep, a few chickens, lots of rabbits and me. I keep bringing 'stuff' home to plant in the garden for my florist garden and now the sheep are on strike! Yesterday I came home with a huge euonymus I salvaged from a customers garden and the sheep actually came at me with signs saying 'HELL NO-WE WON'T GO' and 'STOP THE PLANTING-WE NEED GRAZING GROUNDS!'
I have an eye on this one 3 meter long ivy 'Natascha' trail that is just WAITING to be cut and used in some wonderful arrangement! AND I saw this evening that my Cotinus bush is growing in leaps and bounds...yay!!!
