Suggestions pleaseI need some suggestions for some nice clinging climbing plants. Want to make a start on getting the back garden sorted out this week, weather permitting. Want to put some climbing plants against the boundary wall and make it attractive for birds.

Climbing honeysuckle - they look beautiful. Where I am living at uni, there is a honeysuckle plant that goes over the arch of the gate. It looks and smells lovely. |

What exposure does the garden get...lots of sun, shady, or a mix of both? Annual climbers: cardinal vine, cathedral bells, morning glories, moonvine (night blooming); all of these are fairly easy. Perennials: clematis (touchy, hard to establish but stunning in bloom), wistaria. Non flowering vines: English ivy, Boston creeper (stunning scarlet foliage in Autumn. Honeysuckle vine is lovely but will take over the premises if it gets half a chance ... Can think of others if you want ...... |

 Will take some pics later today. The garden is north facing so quite shady, the boundary wall, where i want to put climers gets most of the sun and is at the moment full of weeds and nettles. Will be cutting those back but I know they will be back with a vengence in no time. I am not too bothered about that, I like the wild look. I am no gardener by any stretch of the imagination, I just want to encourage some wild life back into my garden and hide the ugly wall. It may encourage Bernie to want to stay in our garden instead of trying to get into other gardens if I can make ours more interesting for him. We do also plan to get some cat fencing too. |

Ok here are a few piccies of the erm,,,,, garden  The back wall isnt actually mine to do anything with but since no body else goes out there or does anything, I thought there wouldnt be any complaints if I did. My property is actually the strip of grass infront of the tumbling down sheds      Oh and look what else has apeared out there..... Eva is not at all impressed about this one.   Poor baby was shivering. I think he lives in that building, is friendly and looks well fed and cared for but Eva and Bernie wont want to share the garden with him  |

Isnt he just Not so much wee though. Ofcourse i was compelled to go over and chat with him and give a cuddle.Think his owners must have gone out to work and left the poor thing outside Just hope he doesnt get over the wall like Bernie did, very busy streets. |
