        Popped to Morrison's no VC stock at our store, it wasn't a wasted journey though :heehee:, I managed to find some elsewhere two for £4 so I bought four :).

            :huh: Four!? :huh:

            :thud: :thud: :thud:

            Erm .... (gosh! How do I tell him!!??? :oops: ) ... my dear friend @martin-f your enthusiasm for gardening is inspiring :blue thumb:; your skills as a carpenter are amazing :love30: and your cheery banter brings a smile to my face :snorky: (get to the point "M") but I think you may have misunderstood the plant Virginia Creeper :redface: :whistle:

            You know those huge mansion houses, the very TALL ones; the ones where, in the Autumn they are literally clothed in fabulous red and orange foliage? *That* is VC: that is ONE VC :whistle:

            So, unless you are planning on covering your arbour, all your perimeter fencing, your house walls and all the house walls and fences in your entire neighbour, four may be a teeny weeny bit ...
            ... excessive? :noidea:

            Let's hope you like pruning (a lot!) :pathd: :heehee: :whistle:

              Thank you M :),

              Well I would like all the perimeter fence covered in it, ive planted the four in the space of six fence panels I was going to fetch some more today i best check if the neighbours like it then first :heehee:,

              I have over 40 climbers already in so I will be pruning lots in a few years anyhow, I get bored easy so it will give me something to do in the future I don't have much lawn to attend to now and I guess I can cut a few things out in the future :),

              Many thanks for the advise M :).

                          Hi got this for free today, it was left out for the scrap man I knocked on the door to check, it needs a little work but will look ok restored and working, also be useful for burning some of my garden waste :).
