not resolvedI bit the bullet and began to clean up "my bit" of the back green at the weekend. I now have a border about 4 metres long by not quite a metre wide that needs something to fill it. I also have a corner section where there are already brambles growing, so I'm going to try and encourage them to grow into more regular shapes to have a nice fruit-filled corner that will deter anyone from hanging trying to squeeze through there.
Next year I'll put some veg in, a bit too late for this year.
As mentioned in another thread, I've half an idea about using some junked bike parts and growing / training things around them. I saw a photo of some wheels half-buried and used as mini trelisses and also the bike rack is quite obvious.
But I've no idea about plants. The soil is quite good, reasonably well drained, not clay. It faces west and gets good sun throughout the day after the sun has risen over the tenement (in full sunlight from about 11AM). Oh and there is not a tenement opposite ours on the western side of the garden, so it gets the sun pretty much until sunset time, although a bit more shady as it dips below the trees.
Anyone know of any suitable easy-to-grow creepy / crawly / climby type plants that don't mind growing too close to the ground?
