Gardening anyone?

Gardening anyone?

I’m about hr drive from Melbourne in 2bedroom unit in lifestyle village with small back yard where climbing plants were already planted against north facing back fence on wire trellis when I moved in. 2plants are star jasmine and quite small in height. App on my phone today said the other 3plants are potato vine … I’ve never heard of these before.

In approx 2.5 months these 3 vines have outgrown the height of the fence and constantly producing new stems which, unsuccessfully, I’ve been trying to thread through the wire trellis as far down toward the ground as I can.

anyone have any knowledge about these plants? Is it ok if I chop the vine back to same height as the star jasmine which is just below my knee height. With plans to have cat enclosure installed in few months not far from one vine, am I best to get rid of that plant completely?

@Former-Member if you go to the top left of the thread (might need to be on the first page of the thread) there's an Options drop down menu. From there you can click 'Subscribe' to get notifications every time someone posts in the thread. Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

Today I dug the middles out of 2 bales of straw. Wasn’t as easy as it sounds. I put the removed straw around my asparagus plants as mulch. I then filled the straw bales with some compost and manure mixed together. Now I am soaking some pea seeds to plant out tomorrow. I also have some dwarf peas to put into my raised bed.

Hey there @Shaz51 🙂🌺

Glad to hear the rain is lessening 🙂

I hope the visit with your mum goes well 🥰

Nice pics! They’re beautiful variegated leaves… one of my fav plants is zebrina Alocasia with the stripy leaf stems - I don’t have pics as the ones I have are still tiny and it’s hard to see their stripes 🙂 if I can, I’ll take some pics and post here.
Otherwise, as slow start here, having some health problems today (feel a bit sick after drenching night sweats from my bone marrow problem).
it’ll be ok - I’ll have a bit more sleep now and see if it improves 🙌🏻🙂

I hope you have a smooth day today, and all goes well 🤗🌺
