Hi Kevin,What about planting a evergreen honeysuckle,it will look good with
nice flowers & give off a lovely sent.Should do well in a bit of shade too.Very nice next to a open kitchen window or door!Get my drift ;-). -- Thanks Keith,UK. "KEVIN MORRISSEY" wrote in message news:Jjo5c.64$jr2.28@newsfe1-win... Hi, Can anyone help on a simple question and my problem. My next door neighbour has 'kindly' built an extension next to my house, which means I am now staring at a boring wall when I look out of my kitchen window. My idea is to place some trestles on the wall and add some climber types of plants. It is a shaded area most of the day, only getting sun about 3pm for about an hour to 2 hours. The 'soil' is basically clay, so I would need I think a hardy plant with these conditions. I'm thinking of some kind of an 'ivy', but don't know where to start. Any tips, advice or pointer would be appreciated. -- Regards, Kev M |
