I had this bush thing growing in the garden, I have been trying to figure out what it was since moving in. Something in the back of my brain told me I knew what it was, but until it flowered this year I didn't realise it was Honeysuckle.

So I had to set about making a support of some sort. I took some new twig shoots trimmed them, stuck them in the ground and used strips of bicycle tubes to tie it all together.
I untangled the bush as much as it would let me and guided it around the trellis, at least now it can grow upwards rather than sideways!

Bicycle tubes again Gormal! A great idea and one I'll use for my tomato plants, thanks!
