Hello all,

The new fence is up, hooray!

Now, I now some disapprove of growing plants up fences, but I want to!

I'm hoping to persuade Mr P to have a short trip out to the garden centre tomorrow, with the idea of getting a couple of plants while there is still some exposed soil to plant in.

Considering a pyrocanthus and a climbing hydrangea, but open to suggestions providing they are evergreen.

Thank you!

Oh no, not the dreaded pyracantha! shock

You didn't listen to teacher, did you, you were talking at the back of the class again.

Well, Callistemon planted them yesterday, now hardly a berry on them!

Watched a blackbird through the sitting room window really enjoying the berries. So, in a way, I'm quite chuffed!

Oh, lovely!
We bought a bush earlier this year that has berries which apparently the birds love but there were no takers.
(I can't remember the name of it without going out in the dark and damp to look at the label.)
