Marge and All who offered their thoughts on the wisteria ,muchas gracias..it will join my other garden thugs ,shortly..To wit:
Today has been a bitter lesson in gardening wisdom or the lack there of....
A great deal of time and physical effort was required and spent,removing Bamboo roots/shoots which were attempting to pry off the house siding ,with the foundation its next target..
Always a lover of growing the exotic, that which everyone says wont make it here,hence the Bamboo in this arid,hot and cold zone 5/6 high desert...
Well, its going on 11yrs now and that Bamboo is doing what B.does,grow,grow,grow....
So while I question my faulties now,at the time success seemed so unlikely and of course ever the more desireable as a consquence..
I still like it,makes a lovely sight,sheilds my bedroom window from the summer sun and it surely is successful..But considering the labor required to contain it,etc..I can only wish this was on my list of unanswered prayers.:-)Anyone else have some serious garden 'regrets'?
Keep Growing,
C........
