I have a good square wire fence around my back yard. Wanting to fill it up this year with veggies. What are the do's and dont's of selecting good producing veggies to crawl on my fence line? I will not have a regular garden this year.

Make sure you can control any vines that want to run onto your neighbors yard.
Have to be careful with chemicals also.
Hopefully you have a lot of sun at the fence where you want to plant your garden.
I grew some unbelievable beans one year on a wooden fence. Morning sun and afternoon shade.
It is a bit of a pain removing the winter debris from the fence.

Cucumbers grow great like that.

This and several hybrid tomatoes will do it!

I use 4x4 fence for trellising veggies. Try out plant clips it make it very easy to train your plants

White half runners (green beans), and I have planted tomato plants next to a fence and trained them with twine to make them grow up the fence.

beans and sugar peas eat well and like to climb.
