English Ivy...........Verigated


Examining all of the foliage and plants and shrubs, trees, flower beds, around and about this old house is a lot of fun.
Recently while we were planting new Juniper and Holly and upon closer investigation .........

I found around the entire perimeter of the granite foundation ...........English Ivy.

Lots and Lots of it. I love bringing the outdoors in and this will make it's way into the house by the fall.

This is what I rescued from and area that will become a new planting bed. I just love it
Blessings, GG

Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. Glad to have a new sister in Christ as a friend!

I have some ivy that just would not grow in my pot so I got annoyed with it and threw it out among the trees and its taken over. Looks like a jungle with all the hanging ivy. It's much more beautiful natural than it ever was in the pot.
