Ivy is one of those plants that look fantastic until they start to eat your home. Keep cutting it back and limit it to the trellis because it will suck the mortar out of your bricks, encourage mildew on your home and just generally tick you off when you look back and wonder what you were thinking planting ivy. Do I sound like I have experienced the magical wonders of ivy?

English ivy is very tolerant of the sun. But grows quite well in deep shade.

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

I can be very invasive, I use it for ground cover. If it gets to out of control, I take the weed eater to it. I planted it underneath my Cherry trees to control weeds.

One OS to rule them, one OS to find them:
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Redmond where the shadows lie.

You can walk on it,
but it does have some pretty sturdy vines,
as it grows/creeps along and out,
and gets older......
*and attaches at every leaf node.. so ther'es roots all along the vine...*

I'd sort of be a little worried about
tripping on it as I walked...

done this have entertained angels without realizing it.
