Vines - Part 2
Vines come in all sorts of types, sizes and vigor. There are annual vines that you plant each year from seed and woody vines, some of whom make a statement all year around. Some vines have Attila The Hun tendencies and will take over the world (or at least your patch of it) if not watched and some require no end of coaxing to keep alive and flourishing. Some vines do very well in shade; some require sun to thrive and some will grow in shade, but not flower well. The variety is almost endless; here are a few more that you may know and grow or that may tempt you.

Clearing Woods - Vines - Part 2
Like many woodlands in the eastern US, mine is full of vines. Vines connect the undergrowth in an impenetrable web of living steel and drape tree crowns in a smothering curtain that has caused many a tree to topple. The worst offenders in my woods are native vines; only one is a foreign escapee.

Plant Families: Araliaceae and Aristolochiaceae - Ginseng and Birthwort
Woodlands are full of surprises during the spring such as migrating songbirds, delicious morel mushrooms, wildflowers splashed about like pigments on a painter’s pallet, and butterflies, emerging from winter hibernation, fluttering about drunkenly. But some of spring’s surprises, a few a bit like botanical doubloons in a pirate’s treasure chest, are easy to overlook. Three such “treasures”, Ginseng and Dwarf Ginseng, both members of the Ginseng Family, and Wild Ginger of the Birthwort Family, all seem bashful by virtue of their small blossoms.

Plant Families: Bignoniaceae and Boraginaceae
Bright colors, aggressive vines and five o’clock shadows hold sway this week. Reds, oranges, yellows, blues and purples all blossom and bloom, decorating the landscape with festive abandon. Coiled tendrils unwind, grasping onto absolutely everything they fall across. Plants, hairier than my Uncle Paul, wear their flowers like gaudy costume jewelry. Many of these wildflowers, if not well known, are certainly recognizable by sight. Some even turn up in the garden. So what are these, these hirsute plants, these plants that won’t let go, these plants that flash us with bold colors, bugger the trench coat?

The Natural Garden That Isn't
Once gardeners interject themselves into the greenery the so-called natural garden is no longer natural. But it can still be a rewarding way to plant, if you're willing to work side by side with Ma Nature - who may have a few ideas of her own.

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.

Vines - Part 3 - Clematis
Vines are amazing plants. With their ability to either climb vertically or spread horizontally, they enable us to create many-layered interest in our gardens. If you've avoided using vines because you think they can get out of hand and become weedy pests, think again. While this is true of some, it's also true of many garden-worthy plants that none of us would be without. With some exceptions, weediness is not a characteristic of Clematis, the Queen of the twining vines.
