The Triffids are taking over the Asylum

Pyracantha
 
PassionFruit and Hypericum
(there's even an 8ft tree in there some where)
 


 We may really only have a Back Yard/Patio but with the right plants, you'd think you were in a jungle.

Along with the above, we have an eight foot tall BlackThorn tree that sort of just appeared in a planter made from old pallets, a bay tree or shrub, hosted likewise in a hand built planter, and some winter flowering Jasmine shoehorned into a slit of soil by the fence.

We did have a flowering Quince, in another hole hacked through eight inches of solid concrete, but, and let this be a warning to those who like me don't know too much about gardening, I over fed it with too much plant food.

Suffice to say, it died.


Our once lovely Quince Japonica

We are wondering if growing a grape vine up its remains might be possible?
It's on a south easterly facing wall and in the winter suffers shadow cast by the garage.
All suggestions gratefully received...
