Rhetorical of the day, Strawberries/Wisteria
What's worse to have **next** to your garden - strawberries or Wisteria? I
have both next to my herbal garden and its a constant battle to keep the clutching vines of both plants out of the ground. The Wisteria isn't even mine, its my neighbors, they use it to fill in the holes in the chain link fence that separates us - makes an incredible green wall in the summer. Only problem is that it overruns EVERYTHING in its path. As for the strawberries, my mistake of planting them by my herbs. The frickin' things spread out worse than bermuda grass - only benefit that I can see if that they only produce once a year and stay nice and bushy and green the rest of the summer. Strawberries grow wonderfully in Seattle - almost TOO wonderfully. |

The parent, yes, but each sucession of offspring add another 4 years. Strawberry plants are pretty easy to keep in check, so is wisteria... in fact the more severly wisteria is pruned the more profuse it's flowering. Unfortunately chain link fence is probably the very worst support one could have chosen for wisteria. |
