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?

Beautiful ! Does it have a perfume ? Roses don’t do well around my place - I’m in the Top End - too hot and humid

Thanks heaps @Shaz51 🙂💜

sorry to hear you feel sick during the night and up often to go bathroom 😔

I’ve been avoiding food some hours before bed to stop that sick/nausea feeling when laying down - it helps a bit, but not significantly. Do you have any tips you feel comfortable to share? 🙂

Frequent trips to toilet .. even with restricting fluids I am up usually 3x nightly now it’s turned into 3B CKD, however if I try to limit fluids, I feel much worse the next day.
not much luck here, I wish I had more helpful stuff to offer 🌺🤗

Although I have found that wearing TED stockings overnight has helped the cramping and slightly improves the pain aspect of neuropathy (as well as supplementing high doses of magnesium and potassium due to loss from kidney failure).

hopefully Mr Shaz made you a coffee too? ☺️

thanks for sharing that Alocasia - it’s lovely ☺️ 💜

Hey there @Oaktree 🙂🌺

thank you kindly, that’s really nice of you 💜🙂

I hope the pea seed planting goes well! 🙂

before my old neighbours moved away, they grew veggies in the back yard, which I used to water over the fence while they were at work on hot summer days, so they wouldn’t dry out too much.. I used a misting spray to keep them cooler.
they used to reward me with some excellent cherry tomatoes, lettuce, chives, peas, zucchini, and these sweet chillies from a miniature tree they had.
