60 second question :Hi Stephen and Matt, I'd like to to throw down the gauntlet for a bothersome verandah planting option problem I'm sure is common. Picture a 1990s built Melbourne house, south facing verandah attached to a brick house on which, one end of the verandah has a wooden privacy lattice facing west. Lattice is as tall as the one story home's ceiling. What evergreen/semi deciduous could I plant that will cover the ugliness but thrive in pots sitting on the verandah that has no direct sun, sheltered from wind and covered by Laserlite roofing? I can't plant on the other side of the verandah as it's a concrete path up the side of the house
Oh, and don't say a bulldoze or a carpenter, because they're not in the budget 🎯.
Cheers.
