 what would you have to have in it?  OK so I'm cheating by asking you all but if you saw the list of my wants/like you'd understand my problem.  

SO Numptie note (easy to grow, likes acid conditions etc) would help.  I think this would be an excellent use of my shed "wall" so it will be open sided on 3 sides and a roof over the top if that helps.

Why thank-you Maggi for your PM, that was certainly a succinct précis!  I would quote you but there might be under-age galanthophiles lurking.  ;)
