I have a rather long and tall block retaining wall in front of my
house similar to this type of stone:

The wall is facing North-East with no trees or other obstructions. If
you had this wall in your front yard, what vine/vines would you plant
next spring?
Heck, if the suggestions are good, I will come back and have this
group "landscape-suggest" my entire yard!
Thanks,
Deion "Mule" Christopher

Approximately where are you located. Different vines require different
climates.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm not familiar with what will survive your winters. And your
north-east wall won't even get a little warming.
Your best bet is to ask at a local nursery (not a lumber yard or home
improvement store, but a place where plants are the primary
merchandise). You might also inquire with your county's agricultural
extension service (or whatever they call it in Missouri); most such
services also provide advice to home gardeners.

Looks like something extremely similar to what I saw months ago at one
commercial website while I was researching material for a retaining wall.
My gut says its the same photo.
