Howdy all!

I am making plans for the summer ( arent we all??!?) and would love

some
imput from the list. My front "yard" is 10' wide by 6' deep with the

typical
city sidewalk and then the street. The front of the house gets direct

sunlight
ALL afternoon long in the summer and is not terribly hospitable to many

plants.
I have the area planted heavily in Zinnias (they love the climate) but I;d

like
some vining plants to go up the porch posts. I;ve tried scarlet runner

beans,
hyacinth bean and the previous owner even tried a clamatis but the hot dry

area
isnt the ideal climate for any of them. I would almost plant morning

glories
there just to screen the porch a bit but I am not that nuts! SO- any
suggestions on fast growing, non invasive vining plants that do well in

dry,
rather harsh conditions that could grow on a trellis to form a screen?

Any ideas would be great !
THANKS!!!
