The fence is neither wood nor chain link. I believe it's painted cement, and it's very solid. I would be planting things on the east facing side of it. Full sun, with some afternoon shade.

I can't get nasturtiums to grow without being stunted. Maybe it's the clay soil. My runner beans died as soon as it got hot out. Maybe I will try cypress vines.

Even if I plant a long row of something, I'll still have room for other stuff. It's a seriously long stretch of fence.

I looked on wildflower.org, but its database doesn't seem to have a single plant in the 6-12 foot height category! What's up with that?
