Vines - Part 4
I grow several vines on purpose and a few unwelcome ones bestowed by Mother Nature. One species starts out very shrub-like, another twines, some are annuals. Some thrive and bloom in shade and some will grow but not flower. There are also vines in my past and some that I hope will be in my future. My garden would be incomplete without the soft high notes of vines.
