Haha !! Just show's how beautifully fertile it is in your neck of the woods !! ... and, welcome home Wills, Kellogg and Boo Boo .... happy family times ahead .... what's on the welcome home menu Cro ? XXXX
Just to get more background info, I also looked at your earlier The Passing of Time post. Now I really see what a beautiful place you've created. It could really be the location for a story that begins, "Once upon a time...."
It was a rather crazy project (two amateur builders), but has made the garden much more interesting. Plants only come alive if they have 'background', and we didn't have much.
Your plant loves that tower! It adds a nice touch. Okay here is a story. Years ago my sister was hired to do some landscaping at a large home featuring a nice growth of ivy stretched around the entire stone facade. She was new at the job and accidentally cut the main stem, and had to tell the owner that all that lovely ivy would eventually die. She felt horrible . . . and is now an accountant.
Oh dear, sounds like a good career move. I have a friend who has a house out here but lives in England. He hired a local man to do some gardening before he arrived for the summer, then found a tree had been cut down and fallen on the roof, and all the grass burned instead of mowed. He wasn't happy.

So beautiful dressed on green. Almost a hobbit home!
It's beautiful from the inside.
Beautiful! It must be very cool in the summer. Is it an evergreen Wisteria or do the leaves fall in Winter?
Greetings Maria x
It's deciduous. This gives me the opportunity to prune it properly. I can see what I'm doing when it's leafless.
Deciduous, new word learnt, thank you. X
That roof line is very pretty, shame the detailing is hidden. A bit of snipping required, but it is truly lovely.
I've already cut it back 3 or 4 times this year; I shall have to be more drastic in future. It's very nice, but grows like crazy.
Drought?

Doesn't seem to affect it. Maybe the less rain the better?
Veggie Curry, Dhal, Basmati rice, Poppadoms, and lots of kisses for Boo Boo.
Doesn't get anymore perfect than that !! Have a lovely time. XXXX
I'm just about to do a towerpost - not copying, pure coincidence. I like yours, but I would put an observatory on mine.
What a beautiful building! And what a lot of green stuff!
I've tried to call ours 'The Gate House', but she won't hear of it!
I've let it get a bit out of hand; it's usually trimmed back a bit better.
Mother Nature has captured it. It was lovely before and even more lovey dressed.
Yep I think the triffids have taken over - time for a bit of pruning methinks.

Best wishes.
Mother Nature is playing games with me. She thinks I have nothing to do!
I'll wait now until the leaves drop, then give it a very hard pruning.

I do so hope to have greenery growing up and over everything it can in the future. Love to see tangles of things growing from walls.
Pretty building Cro and somehow enhanced by all that greenery I think.
Try calling it 'The Flophouse'?

Me too; I like jungle.
It would certainly look very stark without it.

I have always loved your beautiful pool house.
cheers, parsnip
I love plants but that's a bit OTT for its host and a wonderful place for creatures to live.
