Name: Rosie HILLSBOROUGH, NC (Zone 7b) If it sparkles - I'm there!
I should not admit this.... Snakes hide in that vine and I am terrified of the trellis and its surrounding area. There is a gutter there and the snakes go up and down it to harvest the birds nesting in the gutters. SO...I try to get in and out -- quick. Mid winter..when the leaves are gone and I can see what I am doing, I get in there and clip and rip...right to the ground. Every year it comes back faithfully. Even if yours died off and looks a little sparse at the bottom, I bet it will fill in. I treat ours poorly and if it returns -- can't be all that finicky.
Don't squat with yer spurs on!
People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
