I just love vines and would like to plant 2 vines, one on each side of the garages. (see photo for red arrows) I can plant them into the ground.

The #1 concern is that they MUST NOT damage the rain columns on each side of the garages. I can add some sort of support (any ideas?) from the top of the eaves, and they could follow the eave (sp?) along the top (see photo for green outline). Wouldn't that look awesome?!

I would love opinions from both male & female gardeners. My husband likes the clean look without vines, and I think it needs something. Please help!
