From the archives, circa 2006, well before being badly bitten by the gardening bug. Quite a contrast...

@AnnaSkiing Now is good, the soil is nice and warm. They do take a few years to get established and it can be 5 years before you see any flowers at all. It's an investment. Consider getting it professionally trained when it grows up a bit, that'll ensure max flowering and a good structure.

First time in a few years I've had flowers on the wisteria - been frosted at a critical moment in the last couple of years. Doing a bit of a double act with the lilac.

The rest of the back garden is basically a disaster zone, but this island bed is at least neat and tidy. Time for a sit down now...

[The Propagator @cavershamjj]

@BotanicsMan I double prune it properly every years, just a lottery with a late frost.

I should have said, obviously the #SixOnSaturday tag will live on here on twittah. Be free!
