Hi Gerry, I am very new to gardening so please excuse my ignorance if I ask basic questions. I have a small patio in my apartment and during the summer I started to decorate it with various plants/ shrubs. The place has come on well, however we have a problem with the corner of our patio which is very open (we are a ground floor apartment and people can see in when the come down the steps to the apartment). I have bought some trellis, painted it and fixed it to the railing. I would love to get some creepers or plants that would grow up this trellis and provide a bit of privacy on the patio. Could you suggest anything (especially something that might glow so late in the year?). We already have a potato plant (suggested to us) but this is taking forever to grow). I have attached a photo of the area that I am trying to cover. This is an old photo long before the trellis went up, but it will give you an idea of the area I am trying to cover. Many thanks

I have a conifer tree (potted) on my patio that seems to be suffering very badly. I have been told that the tree needs lots of water and I have given it plenty but with no results. The tree seems to have gotten progressively worse over the last 6 months. I am moving to a house soon and I had intended to plant the tree in the garden however I am wondering if this would be a wasted exercise or if the tree is even salvageable at this stage? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have attached photos of the tree in question.
