Pitch:
"We live in a 1920s development in Forest Hills with a large common yard with a fountain area. Each house in the development has a patio and when we moved in, our patio was surrounded by an ugly chain link fence and covered by an ominous wisteria vine that was trained on 3 clotheslines tied onto the chain link fence posts. ...."

i know i'm supposed to comment on your garden (which is lovely) but i'm even more impressed with your living space. it's like a country place in the city. where are you in forest hills?
due to "ominous wisteria"-cide
I had to vote Bronze
Wisteria take a long time to grow, and I love them. You can cut them back and train them to go where you want . . .
(sigh)
wisteria-cide!
Guido, my mother was also guilty of wisteria-cide but I totally understand. In less that one year a wisteria that was growing on her neighbor's building migrated over to my mom's building, wrapped itself around a drainage pipe and bent it and broke it, snaked across a telephone line to the house across the way, grew down the side of that building back to my mother's yard and strangled a tree she had been nurturing. Wisteria is an aggressive plant that just won't quit until you take serious action.
How did you put up the fence? Did you hire someone? Who and about how much did it cost? Looks great!
