Gardening has entered the autumn tidy up season. Here at the side gate three very vigorous climbers meet and merge. On my father's side Virginia Creeper which should be called Virginia Ramper. On the neighbour's side Russian Vine which is sometimes known as Mile A Minute. In the middle Ivy clambers along the fence line. I ran the hedge trimmer over the mass of foliage but they'll be off again in spring.
