    Hope you're feeling better Claire :(

    Will look at some different ivys and see what inspires me. Whatever I choose, I want to get it in this month and get it established over winter, ready for some proper growth next year :)

    Hi Sussex

    I would reccommend planting clematis.

    Where the area to be covered is large (a house or garage wall or large fence ), it is best to use a strong growing clematis like Clematis montana. They are low on maintenance with maximum coverage, then you can add other clematis to the wall so the flowering is spaced throughout the year (It is possible to have a flower on your fence/wall for eleven or twelve months of the year).

    Hope thats of some help.
