Gardening with Joey

[JimmyJeffers]

Not sure what that is but hope its not Japanese Knotweed.

Think the leaves are a different shape. @Joey66 should be along shortly to help. As long as he’s not busy policing sex starved frogs in his garden again.

Anybody know what this is and how to get rid?

I've cut it down here but it literally takes over everything and goes into the fence and breaks the cement posts.

It's from the neighbour that backs on to my house which is overgrown by that and other tall weeds. I think it's a rats haven in there. Can the council do anything about that?

Looks like some form of Creeper ?

@Joey66 what say you ?

I’d speak to environmental health. Probably best to ask your neighbour to cut it all back first before causing a dispute. Offer to do it yourself if you have to.

It's actually quite nice and goes red in the autumn but it is a massive pest.

Yeah suppose I will. Its a very scruffy garden, wouldn't like to see their house. Then they may be elderly or something so can't judge.

It’s a Virginia Creeper.

We’ve got it in our back.

It’s fine as long as you cut it back and don’t let it get into the brick work or under the eaves

It is nice, it's ruining the concrete that the fence sits on, I need to kill it.

Virginia Creeper -looks like it to me -turns red in the autumn do not plant it by your house on a fence a good 12 yards away okish

Right you are only by law able to cut what hangs over your fence - you can ask him in a nice way you are not keen on it how far from your house is it?

Its a rampant fast grower.....
