Julia Child seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Julia Child for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. peak flowering through midsummer was the clear high point — everything you're told about Julia Child at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

repeat-flowering over a long season is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a trellis or pergola for climbing varieties as the ideal position. pruning to an outward-facing bud at a 45-degree angle was the lesson I took into next year. aphid infestations on new growth is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
