Gold Heart Ivy


Gold Heart Ivy

Taking over the wall at the top of the drive-way. Shall have to cut it back a bit as it is smothering the Winter Jasmine.

gerrrrrr......ivy. After spending 13 years trimming back my ivy I decided to kill it off last summer, several days later I managed to burst a blood vessel in my eye from chopping long and hard with an axe while bending over. Lesson to learn here Magnoliatree.

i refuse to tick I like this photo because I am emotionally damaged.... ;-)

I,m with you Ams .... we had one on our front wall it grew so quickly hubby was always clambering up to the gutters to cut it down , we decided enough was enough and last autumn we cut it down , it was like a tree trunk and very difficult to prise off the wall , we have now put a nice frame up and put a climbing Rose in so hopefully this summer it should start to grow to cover it .

I do like the leaves and it,s fine if it,s not on the house !

Oh, dear ladies what have I done? It was only 3 inches high 15 years ago! Help, help - I think it's tapping at the patio window and it's 6' away from the house and...argh...
