Planting in paved areas...leaving gap by house...

[BarkingUpTheWrongRoseBush]

Getting a new paved area ....it’s the sunniest bit of the garden so it’ll be a seating area. I was going to ask them to leave a couple of slabs out so that I can plant a climber or 2 in them. Right by the wall. Will that work or will it get too dry?

Planning on a big wisteria.

I paved over my front garden about 12 years ago because I've got a large back garden and at the time the upkeep of both was too much. It is about 6x8 2ft square flags and I left out about 8 to create little beds. It's an absolute sun trap and over the years I've grown all sorts, including sweetcorn one year, successfully so I'd be tempted to give it a go.

Oh definitely! We have some irises where a gap is in baking heat and they do brilliantly. I'm sure a wisteria will look great.

Thank you...sweet corn that’s a thought.
