Green masonary paint - want to tone down a garage wall.
"Kay Easton" wrote in message ... In article , Eric the Red writes I did think of trellis and then planting some sort of climber but with the location of the house and garage that area is almost entirely in shadeexcept for a few hours early morning in summer. Mined you trellis on it's own would make a difference, I think about that as well. You could grow a variegated ivy up it. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm Variegated ivy is really lovely. Another thing they seem to be using here in Germany is what looks like Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). Back in the U.S. it's considered a weed in most parts. Whatever this is (and I've only really seen it from a distance of several meters), it is well-tended, and used well. In a few areas I've seen it on walls combined with well-trimmed ivy. Now that it's autumn, it really looks beautiful. - Al |
