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?

That's okay. I'll have a google and see if I can find them @Former-Member

Do you know of something similar at all?

Re: Gardening anyone?

I hope you can find them @Birdofparadise8 🌺🙂

I don’t really know of anything else like it - I do remember I searched for ages before I found it, and I was really glad I found it, because I wanted to replant those miniature Alocasia into it before I was in hospital for a while (surgery) and wouldn’t be home to do the watering…as new tiny little plants, they needed small amounts of water pretty constantly 🙂

there was also a small round version of this one - I’m not sure they are still available?

Planted Westringia Lilac and Lace plus 2 different coloured chrysanthemums this morning in my front garden bed. Had other types of plants to get in but fate had other plans, remember starting to fall and landing on my knees.

Tomorrow one of my neighbours is going to plant other chrysanthemum, some kalanchoe plants plus place some daffodil bulbs into the garden patch for me plus put in place some small decorative houses.

my fairy garden is slowly taking shape
