Hi Everyone

I am new to the forum and relatively new to gardening, my mission this year is to sort out my garden.

I am wanting a climber which is fast growing, hardy, likes partial shade, ideally evergreen and if possible something which flowers although this is not essential.

I know the Russian Vine grows quickly but its looks a bit too straggly for the 'look' I am wanting.

I am leaning towards virginia creeper but I know this isnt an evergreen and doesnt flower. I am a bit dubious about going for an evergreen clematis as a clematis I had last year didnt do well at all.

I have also come across the "Fire Creeper"?

I am currently growing from seed some Cobea (sp?) plant but I would like something to cover my garage wall asap as it is very unsightly!

Anything which would attract birds or give them somewhere to nest would be a great bonus!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
