pergolas

well thats the perfect excuse. cant not give the wisteria a support, espeially as it was a gift. then a garden always needs some height to draw the eye from the lawn. :o)

And of course in this weather you need somewhere to sit in the shade!

Wysterias are amazing. Had one in the last garden and have just put one in the new garden last year. Waiting for it to flower this year?? Mine is over a pergola.

you shouldnt need a good reasen as you already have one.

grrr.... il just keep moaning at him or sulk... that usually works but he has been adament this time..
9 times out of 10 i just get on and do it but have no ways in which to even begin to make one

Time to withdraw all privileges I think! lol

here here mad what goes around .whats good for the goose and all that.none so blind as those who will not see.

Bang on about the advantages of having a shady place in which to sit with a glass of vino. Do you have BBQs in the garden? If so, explain that flies prefer sun to shade, so if you're eating in the shade there will be less flies. Any overlooking windows? A pergola with a Wisteria growing over it provides privacy from nosy neighbours. A well-made structure can only enhance a garden. You can tell I've argued all this before can't you!

i normally just sulk and win. it worked this weekend . i wanted a hot tub for the garden andgot one lol.. normally wheni stop sulking and just go quiet he gives in.

Aw honey! I hate to tell you but it could be a long time before the wisteria flowers! That'll give you time to work on him!

That said, you could grow it in the biggest pot you can buy and train it into a standard. I'll help you with that.

Maybe the cost of the pot will change hubby's mind.......

especialy if you go to an especialy expensive garden centre wink wink lol

Thanks peeps, will try all the tips recommended have already pinched the sky card so he cant watch footy but that may be to severe!!

was going to try to be extra nice then mention it in a few weeks see how it goes then, and if that fails he can sleep in the shed!!

x x x

your to nice lock him in the shed and tell him his only way out is to get sawing lol

hahaha...thats a good idea if I buy the wood first and leave it in there with all the bits needed he has no reason to come out until its done!!

I love your way of thinking NoseyP
