Hopefully it won't sulk at all and would carry on growing nicely this year onwards. As it gets taller it will be densely leafy above that will hide the view of the garage but sparse at the bottom that will be perfect for under planting, great win win situation especially for a plant lover!Mark and Gazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427245730390252976noreply@blogger.com
