I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

My wife loves wisteria. It thrives in sun and nutrient-rich soil and is hardy in winter.
Possible drawbacks:
- not native
- somewhat toxic
- can grow very large We have a rather old wisteria. It’s a nightmare. Its roots seem to spread out in a radius of 5m (16 feet), where almost nothing else grows well because it can’t handle the root pressure. It practically grows overnight and tries to create its own jungle.

chand198619 Jul 2024 13:30How tall should it be? Wild sweet pea (Lathyrus sylvestris) if about 2m (6.5 feet) is enough.
Common clematis (Clematis vitalba) if you want it to grow larger.
That way, you’re also doing something good for nature.
