Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster.....

I've got a question that I'm hoping the knowledgable people on this
forum may be able to help with...

At the front of my house I've got 2 steel pillars that support part of
the house that sticks out beyond the threshold of the rest of the house.
The pillars go into the ground surrounded by paving flags i.e. not into
soil or earth.

I'd like to effectively wrap large flower pots around the bottom of the
2 pillars, fill with soil/peat then plant some vines/flowers to grow up
the pillars and potentially up the house somewhat. Ideally the growth
needs to be dense to block out the steel, as I find the steel a bit of
an eyesore...

Can anyone see any problems with this idea or offer any advice on
vines/flowers? Or any general tips?

Thanks in advance!

Larry

Using flower pots around the pillars sounds like a good idea.
