Hello everyone, I have been working on my cottage garden here and it is coming along nicely. Have put in all my perennials and am now seeking out annuals (any suggestions?)
Any way I live in a two story brick house and am wanting to warm it up a bit, it looks BIG and STERILE. I was hoping to train either english or boston ivy up the front, or some other vine.
The problem is we have a deck that goes around the perimeter of the house. Would I plant the ivy in huge planters on the deck?
Here is a picture of what I am working with.
Thanks!
