The message
from FF contains these words:

remember our blank canvass?) and we would like to plant climbers which
give
us our privacy back as fast and as long as possible.
The chain link fence is 7 ft high and about 80 ft long. Soil is not too
bad,
bit of clay but nothing extraordinary.

Suggestions?


Perhaps the fastest growing climber is the "Mile-a-minute", or "Russian"
vine, I cannot think of the Latin name off-hand but will no doubt
remember it as soon as I send this message. I have two of these
climbers and they are both doing well here in the far north of Scotland
in an exposed site where other climbers fail. The problem with this
plant is that it can become too vigorous and cover virtually everthing
in its path. They would grow very well up a chain link fence and need
no other tying-in. Has lots of white flowers in late summer. Also
grows easily from cuttings so your stock can be increased free of
charge.
