Hi All,

I've been reading along and love all your beautiful pictures. ;)

Have not posted here since about this time last year. All the new clems seem to be doing great, and thanks to advice from all of you, I did whack them all way down first thing this spring. In fact I got pretty ruthless with some of the older, out of control ones, and it seems to have been the right way to go.

Pirl,
I'm here from the soil forum where we were talking about the meters. Here's the rest of the story. Look what followed me home instead of a meter. http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=110
Arabella, anybody have experience regarding how much shade she can take ?
