Honeysuckle not made it through frosts ...

Hey all, I'm in need of some low-growing plants to cover ground and perhaps even trail down at the front of some dry stone terrace walls. Its all partially or even fully shady and slugs and snails are a nightmare because of the nooks and crannies by auntie betty

Climbers
Can anyone suggest an easy care flowering climber for a partially shady spot - to be grown in a container.  I have a rather bare concrete shed that I would like to cover - I would really like something fast growing and am a bit nervous about pruning by Carol Mc

ivy
how do i get rid of ivy on my walls Sometimes severing the main stem near ground level, then cutting out the next section by about 6-12" can be very effective. What are your walls made of? As figrat has said. Spray new growth with a glyphosate by sharon buckingham

What have you achieved in the garden after a bad day at work?
