About This Episode
The Grumpy Gardener addresses a readers dilemma on pyracantha.
Plus, his biggest gripe of the week.
It has since gotten huge, and become a menace.
Is there another evergreen without all the thorns I could train in the same way?"
Tangerine Beauty cross vine, that’s an evergreen with beautiful flowers in the spring.
You could try something like a Sasanqua Camilla, called Sparkling Burgundy, which is very upright.
you’ve got the option to train it and it will have beautiful flowers in the fall.
Or you could use a thornlessclimbing rose.
So you don’t see them that much anymore, and especially up and over a swing.
You remember the story of my lawn?
We had to get rid of all the grass, and then we had to rake the whole lawn.
Then we had like nine yards of topsoil delivered, that we had to wheelbarrow all across the lawn.
My wheelbarrow had a flat tire.
My wife was watering that lawn every day with a handheld hose.
Grumpy is not happy.
