Took an Ivy walk yesterday as mine are bringing in yellow pollen but non in the village is out yet! Found 2 sheltered south facing areas that get the sun and the ivy is out/going over .....full of bees/wasps and other flying insects. One very striking area is a lane with trees keeping the ivy in the shade. Where there was a south facing gate the ivy has finished and black seeds/berries appearing, 10 yards away it has yet to come out. Location, location location
