Vicki and I teamed up to rid Mr N's patio walls of pesky Ivy, while trying to retain as much as possible the pretty Passion flowers and fruit competing for space. We also emptied a few planters that were birthing grounds for yet more Ivy, so hopefully it'll be a while before it returns.

7 big bin liners later and the area was transformed and a very grateful Mr N can now look forward to spending the dregs of summer outside.
