I have had this climber for almost 3 years and untill recently, has been
doing
really well. Alas it produced hundreds of leaves last weekend and
we had 2 - 3
nights where the temperature dropped to 3 or 4 degrees. I
am not sure whether i
have a maliscious neighbour handy with some kind
of poison or a fox that
regularly relieves itself in my garden. The
creepers leaves have shriveled up
with 1 or 2 exceptions where new
growth is sprouting through. Will it survive
now the frosts appear to be
gone or should i be searching elsewhere.

Since we have no idea what the blessed plant is we have no way to determine
how frost tender it might be. Since we have no idea what your neighbour is
like or any evidence of their malign intent we cannot say if they are
responsible. Since we don't know where you are we cannot guess if the frost
will return or when. The fox is probably innocent unless there is a whole
tribe of mutants with giant bladders who only pee on your climber.

David, how do you maintain such constraint when faced with the
consciousness challenged? I really admire your continental suavité. By
the way, you wouldn't know where my favorite pair of socks are would
you? One sock is red, and the other is blue. I used to have two pairs of
them, but now I can't find eIther pair. You don't suppose it has to do
with maliscious (sorry, been drinking, an' don't want to be
misconscrewed as someone with poor orthography skills) space aliens
coming to take our agricultural jobs, do you, huh?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch;
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
-----
Guess what? It's freakin' raining in Northern California, grrrr, and I
can only look out at my garden from here.
Well, if you're also a shut-in today, here's something to help kill the
time. <

That's me, from the continent of the swerve, which is better than
incontinent but suave.

They got together in a pile of dust in back of the closet and now they are
pair of purple panties.

It is interesting that countries largely populated by aliens and their
descendants (at the expense of the indigenes) are now highly excited about
more aliens. Them and us is always mutable.

I knew it, administrative error.
Hope you had a good year in your garden.
We'll start tomorrow with salad. The good life is about to begin.
