Tropicals & Tender Perennials: P. Edulis is eating my shed!, 1 by budgielover

I have a former aviary that I intend to convert to a potting shed when I can replace the roof. The old one rotted so we pulled it off and left it open. I used it last year with plastic wrapped around it to house more tender plants over winter. I took all the plants out this summer but when my son tried to move this one gal pot of p.edulis, it turns out the roots went out the drainage hole and into the ground. I wondered why it was growing so well. LOL.
I decided to leave it for the time and it is literally taking over the structure. Looks really neat though. It is so busy growing that it has yet to bloom. I don't know what I'll do this winter.
It is currently using the 2-4 roof rafters as a trellis and actually growing over the wall and onto the outside of the structure.
