I've been nursing a vine of each for years and have only been rewarded with a few Trumpet flowers. Maybe if I spliced them onto that *&%#!!! Virginia Creeper. . . . Jim |

It's not that the VC is terribly hard to kill. It just pops up everywhere. Many people confuse it with poison ivy, so they let it go rather than remove it. The birds spread the seeds everywhere. |

It is a noxious weed around here!. neighbor just planted some along border, on MY fence.. I suggested that it was not a good place for it and that it's a weed. he said he'd talk to his sister about it. I told them annuals might be ok. I don't want virginia creeper on my place and it doesn't stay put well! I was hoping to plant some clematis along there, not going to now as long as there is a chance that they have a living weed on the fence, nope. Janice |

Virginia creeper. I just love Virginia creeper. http://puregold.aquaria.net/landscape/sit/sit.htm scroll to Late May 2004. I am letting it take over my little sitting area. second best is concord grapes. some animals will eat them, some not. but frankly the best grapes come from well pruned vines. OTOH, I grow mine in the "curtain" form which is a standard straight up, then arms out to the side and let the vines hang down from the arms. Ingrid (E.

The screening of greening is needed to reduce exposure from the sun into my bedroom almost all day The solution I have come up with is to put up lattice and choose a plant or plants to grow on it. The question for me is what type(s) would be best? I would like to have something that grows quickly, that is low maintainance, and will grow a fruit or vegetable, if possible. The main priority is protection from the sun during the summer months. Because the space is elevated, it is well travelled by squirls and racoons, so they are also to be considered when choosing plants. I live in Ottawa, Ontario and don't know what "zone" I am in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Manager: Puregold Goldfish List http://puregold.aquaria.net/ www.drsolo.com Solve the problem, dont waste energy finding who's to blame ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unfortunately, I receive no money, gifts, discounts or other compensation for all the damn work I do, nor for any of the endorsements or recommendations I make. |
