Jeff I need a climber for (i think maybe 6ft) wooden oblisque any ideas? Would ideally like something that grows fast and flowers non stop lol 😊

Flowering non-stop may be tricky unless you get a "repeat flowering" climbing rose. Otherwise clematis may do the job. If you plant a few which flower at different times, then this may be the answer? @Di007 😊

Sounds good.. didn't think about planting more than one 💡 will investigate further re flowering times once I get chance to visit the garden centre. Thanks jeff @jeatacake 😊

Hi Laura, well it's odd because although there are plenty here the slugs & snails seem to leave them alone here, but where I used to live, I just couldn't grow them, as the new shoots were constantly eaten by them, as were other plants such as lupins. Here, their favourite seems to be my runner beans😠 @columbiariver
