Woodyoak... hibernating?
Comments (20)In a way an obelisk is just a glorified teepee like the one mel described on the fairy thread and three or four bamboo poles will support a clematis as well as an expensive wrought iron number. Part of the decision must be based on how it will look in the bareness of a Canadian winter and this is where the expensive wrought iron number might win out. What you intend to grow up your structure is also a factor, what do you mean specifically by "vines"? Karin makes a good point about the ideal shape and an obelisk being the opposite to the ideal, the clematis supports sold at garden centres are fan shaped with the wide bit at the top. You may also want to look at the way the plant you are attaching grows and that it may twine rather than grow straight up perhaps a tuteur more like a Helter Skelter would work better. One last thing clematis are not self clinging and depending on the type might look best if attached to your support on the way up and allowed to fall back over it with the flowers. meaning it will be top heavy. I may have to explain that a bit further so let me know, my brain is in need of a spring clean, can I borrow your turban when you are done with it?...See MoreLorna, we miss you
Comments (8)Nell move over, I was just remarking to Kathy I'm beginning to feel like these old gals... Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, 'Now don't get mad at me . I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is.' Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, 'How soon do you need to know?'...See MoreSteven we miss you :o(
Comments (33)Hey guys, nice to hear from you. I have wondered where you were many many times myself...I am glad to hear its just a busy life keeping you away. I miss your friendly posts and non judgmental attitudes. You were always positive and yet still honest in your posts when us gardeners needed it..and yet real..not just sugary sweet, positive and encouraging, but not blind. Great qualities to have...post when you can..share when you have time. We need posts and gardening friends like that here...but most of all, take care of yourself first...after all, in the end, that is what matters most in life. Life gets in the way sometimes but you are missed..your a great assest to the forum and to the delicate balance that exsists here. I personally have missed your presence and influence. Gardeners, even "net gardeners" are real people too..life gets to busy sometimes, and our gardens or beds get weedy and unkept sometimes...that is life in a REal GARDENERS world..I find that makes you more real, more believable and better respected in my book, than constant magazine like pictures that dont show how a real garden lives and functions, pictures that make it hard to live up to for the normal gardener with a life outside his or her garden who does not have that picture perfect garden and the dollars to back it up...gasp...it makes you normal.. :) Post when you can guys.....even short posts...we need you around here..and when your busy with life...we understand that too..but we might still be missing you then thats all......See MoreWe miss you Bill & Don!!!
