ah, everyone's favourite topic g

have a fugly shed i want to cover, & have decided (i think) on soemthing
from the jasmine family, because they are easy, tough, evergreen, etc. &
then they make nice flowers. our climate is rather cool & the soil in that
spot is all clay - there's no topsoil there & i assume jasmines will grow
there (they seem to grow anywhere!) i also don't want anything deciduous,
as the shed is just as ugly in winter as it is in summer ;-) the planting
spot faces about east-south-east.

does anyone have any points for or against jasmine in this situation? is
there one jasmine above all that you would recommend? or a better
suggestion?

if you had a fugly shed, what would you grow on it?
thanks!

Go a passionfruit as you get some fruit to enjoy.

When old mick on the corner near the telephone exchange sold his
property, about 10 years ago, he had a lovely passionfruit over the
eastern end trellis, but it was an unusual sort.

we can't have any kind of passionfruit here but (apparently) banana
passionfruit (i'm not quite sure what that is, yet), unfortunately, because
of the phenomenal frosts. passionfruit vines are tops!! (except for that one
problem). i have a local friend with one that grew spontaneously in teh
"wrong" position, & it fruits all out of season, but my word it's a goer. my
shed is really quite exposed though, so never mind.

(did old mick take some cuttings?)
