RE: Climbers for fence??

Try Aloe ciliata. Also some Passifloras are good in your climate but are 
probably too vigorous for your needs.

past number of months and the average monthly temperatures has been lower 
than those of the previous ten years.  Definitely good for the garden but 
not so good for the tourists.  However, October has been splendid.

neighbours about 40 metres long.  It is 2 m high, facing east, probably 
with full sun until 4pm during Summer months but only a couple of hours 
sunshine during the Winter with the house and other trees and shrubs 
casting shade.  The other considerations are i) my neighbour has a 10m 
cypress hedge growing just at the other side of the fence ii) swimming pool 
waste water exits and runs along part of the fence.  I am looking for some 
flowering climbers/ramblers (not too vigorous) which might cope with the 
above situations.  Advice welcome.
