Question for the Green Thumbs

Is this boston ivy. If so, it prefers the north side (more shade). You could add a relative, Engelmani Ivy (5 leaf quinquefolia). This ivy clings to concrete well, can handle more sun, will grow up or down. I would suggest adding a climatis - Sweet Autumn- blooms in late September, fast grower, great flower and fragrance, looks like an evergreen for a while after it flowers till heavy cold sets in. Very hardy, but will need a trellis. (Pick up a section of old wrought iron fence from wherever).

Btw; Suck in that belly so your back wont hurt as much.
