For ages a self seeded Cotoneaster franchetii has been growing between the end of the Yew sofa and the edge of the path. It's a silly place but we never got around to moving it or even finding another place for it. When walking past it, I kept nipping out the side shoots rather than allow it to branch out! Eventually the single leader got to that annoying height and whipped across faces when walking up the path. No more!! With the aid of a couple of pieces of old angle iron driven into the ground and a Wisteria offcut wired to the angle iron - hey presto! A homemade and somwehat rustic garden arch. It won't be very long lived but it seemed such a shame to ditch the Cotoneaster and now, we can at least walk beneath it - in safety!
