I recall that our next door neighbor had what sounds like that growing on their house when I was a kid living in the south suburbs. As I recall, it was pretty hardy stuff. <BR/><BR/>It's been stressed, so pamper it a bit if you want to save it. Make sure it gets a light sprinkling of water at least every other day, and a total of 1 inch of water a week, and it may rebound. <BR/><BR/>Ivy usually leaves icky stuff on the side of a house that is very difficult to remove. If you like the look of the ivy and can't save what you have now, I'd plant more!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767604828307174133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393308.post-1117827825716568052005-06-03T14:43:00.000-05:002005-06-03T14:43:00.000-05:00Good luck on your new blog!

Oh well. <BR/><BR/>I had a question about some ivy. Possibly you might have some experience with this. I live south of Chicago and we have this ivy that grows on the side of the house. It's nice, the leaves look like maple leaves. They grow over the windows and make natural shades. Well due to a drunk husband and hedge clippers, they were massacered. Gone. Just patches are left and those are dying too. I cried. <BR/><BR/>Anyway do you think they'll grow back, or are they a lost cause. And if so, is there anything I can to to make the side of my house presentable again?<BR/><BR/>Thanks! And again good luck!101Aether101https://www.blogger.com/profile/18435930987611884301noreply@blogger.com
