It covered the whole front and side. It was that house that had always had it on its walls.
A big job pruning it twice a year around the windows.
It looked magnificent, noting the seasons
I live in Australia now, some people call it Boston Ivy, but it’s rarely on houses.
English Ivy is the scourge in our area, it flowers and seeds profusely, the neighbours have let it climb three old poplars.
I am an urban gardener, so this creates opportunities for some plants to go crazy.
Its name does sound a bit like a prolific serial killer though.
