I think the secret to how great Sweet Autumn looks is the shade factor because I have another one in much more sun and it isn't as nice as this one either .. and a BIG YES to having this arbor gate secured properly .. I really like it but it needs to be RIGHT ! ;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-20257129737961642972011-01-22T18:11:00.549-05:002011-01-22T18:11:00.549-05:00Fabulous clematis.

I'm envious that you have room for the kiwi -- I still haven't figured out how to squeeze it into my garden plan (it isn't exactly a plant that wants to be "squeezed" anywhere).<br /><br />I'd like to invite you to submit a post for this month's issue of How to Find Great Plants.

LOL<br /><br />Cindee girl I just wrote an e-mail to you to tell you to be CAREFUL!!<br />Don't let your enthusiasm cripple you (especially with the pea stone which was my last straw for that naughty disc compression) I have to go visit you and see all this wonderful stone work but whoa woman! don't do what I did to my back !! ;-)<br />P.S.

Yes ! I find the Sweet Autumn that has some shade went full force compared to the one that has more sun .. and they are lovely .. I don't blame you for not wanting to cut it back much since it provides shade for you under your pergola : )<br /><br />Hello there Whimsy and that was its first real garden year ! The flowers are small but you get tons of them ! .. yes, fer has so much on the go with his tiny garden .. he is very creative isn't he !<br /><br />Carol girl you have to plant another one, or two ! that is what I did .. but this one that has some shade became much bigger and flowered so crazy ..

It was just loaded with blooms.My garden project list is always bigger than my can get done list. But I guess gardeners are always changing up things and always see something to improve on.
