What do I do when my climbers grow beyond the fence?
When I first planted these climbers, my plan was simple: let them cover this wall, since unlike the other side, the ivy here hasn’t filled in much. But plants don’t exactly follow our plans, do they? I blinked, and suddenly—they’ve raced above the fence, reaching higher as if they had their own secret destination.
Curious what to do, I asked Beauty, my ever-practical helper. Her answer was quick: “Just cut off the tops and plant them below.” Sensible, yes.
But then another thought crossed my mind: what if I let them be? What if I allowed these green adventurers to tumble over the fence, hanging and swaying in the breeze like they’re dancing on their own stage?
Sometimes I wonder—plants may not talk, but don’t they seem to have a mind of their own?
