But what a way to go becky !

I used lattice on the fence after the neighbor put it up so the ugly side (stringers and posts) is towards me. All along the driveway. It 's a beautiful cedar fence but so stark when it first went up. Fortunately it was exactly 8 feet between the posts so I hung it sideways. I put a red passion vine on one and a peachy bougainvillea on the other about 20 feet further down. Finally the passion vine is up to the top and starting to reach out. I even suspected the nursery had stunted it somehow to keep them from intertwining until someone bought it. I partially screwed a deck screw every about 8 inches along that 2 X 4 stringer on the top so it would have something to wrap around as it started to get on up there. It's doing it on both ends! Hopefully it'll keep on a going as far as I keep putting screws for it to wind around....No blooms yet. My other passion vine is purple and really took off in no time. I took this tonight and it's sprinkling.
