Plants Gone Wild: Part 5 - Sitting Garden On the Mend

More progress on my sitting garden this weekend.  Like to spend hours working on it not minutes so that is pretty much when any work gets done!

Plants gone wild:  Not so much any more. With still a lot of work to go, my overgrown front garden is turning into a nice sitting garden.

What I learned today:
1) Ivy has a mind of it's own.  It will grow one direction and as soon as it spots a wall to climb, it will turn 90 degrees and grow that direction.  I swear!
2) When having a drink tucked under your arm and holding a tool in the other, don't bend over to set the tool down.
3) Pulling on an ivy vine is kind of like "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop".  You keep pulling and pulling and pulling, then you just wanna break the damn thing off!

Plants gone wild:  A view from my sitting garden chilling out under a tree during a break on a hot humid day.

Plants Gone Wild - Part 2

Today's episode of "Plants Gone Wild" I learned a few more new things: 

1) I learned that my sidewalk is really 5ft wide instead of 3. 
2) vinca, ivy, and creeping junipers are a HUGE pain in the a** when growing together let alone by themselves. 
3) landscape lights really don't work that well after you cut the wire with pruning shears...

Plants gone wild - My sidewalk was really 5 ft wide, not 3!  The ivy just above the planter along with the creeping juniper that it covered and intertwined with was extended out into the sidewalk where the dirt marks are.  Wow.
