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.

Kiwi berries… the ones in the photo are now 3 years old.

Grapevines are great too.

Our neighbor has espalier fruit trees, which look fantastic and do produce fruit in the autumn.

I’d like to suggest hardy jasmine as well. And, of course, various types of clematis. You can also mix them nicely if the area is wide enough.

All great suggestions.

I have Virginia creeper, which turns a beautiful red in autumn. Unfortunately, the first autumn storm blew all the leaves away, so the lovely fall display was over quickly.

I have evergreen star jasmine planted as a hedge in my shade garden. It does okay but nothing spectacular. The neighbor’s wisteria grows much faster.

For some unknown reason, my clematis has withered. At that spot, I now have a passionflower.

First of all, thank you for the suggestions. I just realized that I forgot to mention what I already have:
Wisteria
Clematis
Grapevine
Ivy
Honeysuckle

Is this winter-hardy jasmine scented as well?

This variety is also fragrant. However, I don’t have it in my garden myself.

I’ll still throw the rose into the discussion.
The Félicité Parmentier and Mme Alfred Carrière don’t have many thorns, unlike my old divas in front of the house. The rambler Lykkefund was thorn-free for me.
