My clematis has got huge (not a Montana). It's fallen off the fence -wind and weight of rainwater. I can't get it back onto the fence because it's so unwieldy and it's too tangled to prune. I've a good mind to cut it right back and forego the flowers.
The plants that I plant don't annoy me, most I enjoy, the ones I don't I dig up. But weeds really bug me, bindweed, nettles, goosegrass, creeping buttercup. The other culprits are molesÂ
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
My hedgerow. It's just starting to hit its stride now, enormous amounts of growth. Don't get me wrong, it looks beautiful, and the birds love it, but in a few weeks it will have invaded everywhere with various combinations of spikes, thorns, stings and skin irritants. I then have to live with a shaggy length of mess until I get it cut back in September.
I even started a late clematis through a piece of it to see if that helped - now I just have a spiky, thorny area with clematis flowers I can only see if I stand on a ladder. Great job.
Most things that I plant and dislike after a year I pull out and sell or give away. My problem is impatience. If I let them to settle and get on with it, they would probably be fine in five years. But I might be dead and gone by then.
I've got a trachycarpus in a pot, looks a bit yellow and tatty and doesn't really add anything to the garden. I'm loathe to get rid of it for some reason although it hardly "sparks joy"
"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbour".Â
We have a neighbour next door but one who does not seem to have any volume control. Like a megaphone with even ordinary speech and she laughs like a maniac. I'm glad I'm not right next door.
I am annoyed with the following plants: cornflowers, chamomile and nigella, simply everywhere, flopping over paths etc.
Really fed up with Choysia getti g sunburn when it's supposed to like full sun.
Next doors cat lying slap bang in the middle of my coreopsis and flattening it. Plus... Where is my frog?? Missing for 3 days now.Â
