4ft ?!??? Pictures please of this Audrey III! If needs be, give it your entire garden!

Oh I’ll be back here for lots more advice! And I promise to keep the updates coming!Maybe that previous guy worked to slow and the ivy grew over him!

Midges have been out and about here since Feb, though they only turn up when it's fine - so not often! I used those horrible yellow sticky papers to catch them in my pony shed - they have caught hundreds within a couple of days. They don't seem to bite me, but plague the ponies. So I use...
