We have a really under-used and sad looking bit of garden .
It's about 20' x 16'
Bordered on 3 sides by NDN garages and our garage/shed with a wooden fence on the 4th side. (At the end of our garden so quiet)
We don't want to spend ££ having it paved so we might clear it ( theres a concrete base) and put a layer of gravel/stone chip.
I fancy a metal gazebo with plants but DH is so I've suggested some support (not sure what yet, maybe thick wire) from our shed to our fence and some large containers (DH could make a wooden trough) for a climber.
I have a Virginian Creeper in a pot that could go there.
Sweet peas in a pot (not grown yet)
Passionflower on the other side of the shed that has grown quite well but no flowers yet ( planted last year)
I would really love a grape vine but they are ££.
So.... I know Russian Vines aren't the most attractive but if I grew one and got the leaves I wanted , I could add something smaller and pretty for colour.
What else could I try? (Has to be in a container though)
TIA

I need some really fast growing climbers - maybe Russian Vine but it has a bad name? And ideas for a boring bit of garden :)
