What can I grow to cover ugly fence and wall?

[WimpleOfTheBallet]

I mean what will give results this Summer? Last year I did Sunflowers and they wee great...cheap and cheerful...this is a rental so don't want to do anything which will take a year or more to establish..but wondered if there were any easy alternatives please? Fence is about 8 feet tall and sunny...wall is the back of neighbours garage..so 12 feetish and is in shade.

My earth is a bit rubbish too...sticky...cloddy...stony and clayish...things do well though..I'm not a gardener...acually I really dislike it but LOVE the results...so I'm a bit clueless really.

Many thanks!

Nasturtiums?

annual climbers: climbing nasturtiums, morning glory; runner beans, sweet peas. if the wall faces south you could try tomatoes, some of them get really tall.

SHould have said/..I have nasturtiums..I had to hack the blinkers back last year they went so mad...they never grew more than a couple of feet though...I will look at sweet peas though...love them! And not sure what the moning glory is but will google...runner beans sound fun...re toms should I look for tall varieties then?

Just looked....lovely! Can I grow Morning Glory and Sweet Peas around Sunflowers? Sort of among them?

How about Clematis ? I have similar soil and find the Monatana variety grows like mad and is very hardy

Trachelospermum jasminoides alba (evergreen jasmine) is brilliant. Year round interest and lovely white scented flowers in summertime. Buy it big though as it can be slow.

Alternatively, how about some bamboo plants? You can buy them quite large for not a huge amount, and grow them in biggish pots along the wall.
