  This was cuttings from an ornamental ivy my friend was hacking back @Fairygirl - so no chance to peg it down. You're right though - pegging down has been successful when I've done it in my own garden.🙂

  Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

  Ah - maybe not so easy then @Topbird. 
  Not something I've ever tried, because the pegging is so easy. Maybe you'll need to give  the friend a pot and some wire....  

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  Ivy is fine in a compost heap, as long as it goes through a shredder first.  It must make up about a quarter of the total material going into mine!
  

  A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
