This is the entrance to the “wild” part of our garden. I’m lucky to have access to woodland close by that the council haven’t maintained, so there were lots of branches from past storms this winter. The plan is to grow honeysuckle either side and hope it covers most of it, providing food and shelter along with the hedgerow I’ve planted on the left behind the ladder. The pond I posted earlier last year is made out of an old water tank someone was throwing out.

    Another great option is kiwi. It requires cold weather though (does it snow in your area? Perfect).

    Wait, what?!

    Kiwi plants grow best in USDA zones 4 to 9, with fuzzy kiwi varieties preferring zones 8 to 9 and hardy kiwis thriving in zones 4 to 7.

    TIL that there’s two kind of kiwi. I wonder how good the hardy ones are relative to fuzzy. This could be a fun experiment.
