    Hi everyone,
    Newbie gardener here. I have a corner that I'd like some sort of tall or climbing plant to hide a 'concrete' filled corner. Below the Dino eggs/stones is just ugly uneven concrete for the support of the fence post I'm guessing - so not able to plant anything into this ground. Will need to be a potted plant that can be trained up the beam towards the bird feeder to hopefully attract more wildlife as I think it's too 'exposed' and not getting much interest currently.
    Just after some opinions on alternative suggestions or plant types that would suit my needs
    I lived in a flat before buying this house last year so this may be a silly question to most but I'm a real garden amateur, apologies!
    Thank you

    That fence needs softening as you know. First question, is the area under the white gravel also concrete?

    The area further along the fence is lawn. Why not make a flower/shrub border along it’s length and include climbers which will cover the fence above the concrete corner? There are so many nice ones. Which direction does the fence face?
