climbing plants

I recall reading here and there that you can put moss into a blender with enough water to turn the moss into a puree that you can then paint on concrete surfaces. It doesn't kill the moss and it will grow onto the wall.

If you don't mind the look of moss over a concrete wall you may be happy with that simple solution.

Trentino is a beautiful city.

I found this article that you may use at your discretion.

If its a concrete wall then install some wire mesh on the wall hanging off about 3 or 4 inches. Cheapest option around here is called "cattle fencing". Comes in a roll, has about 4-6" spacing between the wires.

With this you can turn any ground covering plant into a vertical one.

I grow cantaloupe, these miniature watermelons, cucumbers, and runner beans on the cattle panels all over the property here.

The true ground plants like cantaloupe and watermelon youll have to train every 2-4 days during the growing season. I have noticed a significant incidence rate of powdery mildew since growing them vertically

*significant decrease in the incident rate

From what I recall you should mix in yogurt or milk so the mold will feed easy for the beginning at least.
I considered it, but part of that wall is too exposed to the sun for such a solution to work.

I have the mesh to do that but the plants you mentioned aren't good for my climate, it's too cold here.

a quick google tells me, that's plant hardiness zone 7b.

google "edible vines 7b", and there's lots of options: some kiwi vines, many types of grapes, peas, green beans, raspberries, boysenberries...

If you want something that will cover the wall ASAP: Clematis, Ivy, Wisteria, Trumpet Vine, Honeysuckle...

I work for gardening company in NYC, which is also zone 7b. All of the above do well here.

Oh. IF you have enough direct sun, cherry tomatoes are always nice.

Attach some cheapo gutters into the wall and extend your garden.

All these people have no idea what they're talking about.

What aspect is this wall (north/south facing?)

Do you want something evergreen or deciduous (drops leaf in winter)?

In Italy and on that wall you might have the micro climate necessary to grow Bougainvillea sp.. I would check to see if the neighbours are growing it.

Otherwise the most simple alternatives are ivy Hedera helix, use a simple non variegated variety it will grow faster but not ideal for full sun.

Parthenocissus quinqefolia would be my choice, it'd look fantastic in autumn but deciduous.

Alternatively you could espalia or fan train some trees into it with wire and supports - apple, pear, fig (fast growing), lime tree.

Or render the wall, paint it white and have a Wisteria trained all over it. Would take 10-15yrs to establish.

Possibilities are endless

Ignore this jackass and just use kudzu.

Yes that works, but you'll want to use buttermilk.

Don't plant kudzu.

Kiwis are a pain in the ass, they grow to be huge and unruly and depending on the species you'll need a male and female plant.

Beans are the easiest to grow and don't require much upkeep.

Hops are a good option, they grow vertically, but you'll have to replant them every year.

Thorny berry bushes grow to be massive, and can spread to places you don't want. Like everywhere.
