that it doesn't look to straggly!
What type of ivy should I go for and how is best to grow it now so that
I have what I need in May?
Hope you can help

You are welcome to come round my place and take all the ivy you want off my
bottom fence. Two types, one standards and one variegated. I wish I'd never
put the damned stuff down there now.

Hi, Foxyrockmeister, further to the above, now would be a good time to contact all your local plant growers (not garden centres) as you may be able to pick some up really cheap given that all us plant growers had such a terrible August, for example I am selling off Hedera helix variegata, not trained on canes but bushy and about 18ins. long for only 50p each. At the risk of upsetting some of 'professional nurserymen' on this site I would suggest that you visit your largest local car boot sale and talk to the plant man as at this time of year we are all having sales, unless of course you live in Cornwall and you can
come and see me at Rosudgeon!
