I may have posted this before, but I can't remember any suggestions. We
have a bank of Ivy, I believe it's English Ivy, you know, the kind that
you see 90% of the time. Anyhow, winters are hard on it and it's not until
September that it's filled in and looking good. Is there anyway of
protecting it over the winter?

MULCH... leaves, straw,.. etc... should help.. Ivy is pretty tough
stuff .. What conditions do you get.. eg a lot of wet? a lot of dry
cold?.. English ivy (normal H. helix species) is a woodland plant so
would get the protection of a blanket of autumn leaves and 'some'
shelter from exposure by bare trees during winter here in its native
habitat..
