Clematis 2005
The clematis is almost tree like and if you prune it less, only selecting the aesthetic branches, the bush will grow into a beautiful tree. We've had the nocturnal animals visit all summer and they've enjoyed consuming the sweet flowers and sometimes their bulbs. Naturally we don't care as their entertaining to watch with their hunting techniques: of sniffing, digging, and munching. The skunks will leave a scent marker and try to avoid the families of racoon which are after the same food. Racoons sometimes climb the alder and elms and squabble all night, and I've heard of them entering to eat pet food left out all night. The adjoining forest next to our land with it's hedges and thick overgrowth of brambles and wildflowers, are the burrows and dens of these visitors.
