Title: Triffids
Post by: saddad on October 26, 2006, 07:47:33
This is the Achocha in situ... growing over an old early learning centre swing frame...

Will look really sad now if we have had even the slightest touch of frost...
The frame wasn't a great success, the early pods have been buried under the new growth...
::)
Most of what looks like grass in the background is actually self set Salsify and some aquilegia!
