    Doghouse, if you're feeling deprived of enough gardening you could always pop down here and give a hand. About four hours a day should help out quite a bit. :blue thumb:

    Would you mind neighbour growing rose on your garage wall?

    Indeed. That’s modern planning for you. I think they knocked it up on the back of an envelope on a Friday afternoon. But I count my blessings and am just very happy to have my own garden.

    Wisteria growing into a Golden weeping Willow

    I absolutely agree with @Obelix-Vendée for the reasons she has given. The wisteria will be too heavy for all but the biggest of weeping willows.
