Hello Gardening friends:
How wonderful to be back in the gardening mode. I have jumped on the winter sowing bandwagon - I had imagined it was possible for many years - and so I have had my hands in the dirt already. Because of large trees planted in our yard, I am running out of sunny space, and so I am thinking of going vertical. I love the silver lace vine, and I wonder if I could plant it to climb up a group of 3 cedars (about 25 feet tall) on the east side of my house. I notice its 'cousin', the wild cucumber, will climb up a tree, but will not strangle or harm it an anyway. Will the silver lace vine also grow this way? I have also seen a white-flowered hydrangea grow this way some time ago but I don't know the name of the cultivar, so it's not a choice. Any help will be appreciated.
