Default Growing a plant against my cottage

If you live in a damp climate, and I very much suspect that you do, then
any plant directly against the house is likely to trap moisture and promote
mildew. Even worse, the moisture can attract insects which might do nasty
things to the home's structure. Just something to keep in mind.
