Dress up that drab chain link fence, homeowners

JON M. FLETCHER/The Times-Union Chain link fencing is functional but rather harsh-looking. Allowing vines to grow along the fence will soften the look.

My granny told me about this article. Honeysuckles, jasmine, wisteria, and grape vines do well on fences.

My Mom has a wall of Jasmine that is 10 feet high by about 30 feet long.
When I walk over to her house I can smell it turning the corner a block away.

I have some climbing Clematis on some trees.
A Huge orange trumpet vine that goes all the way to the top of a Live Oak.
With the hummingbirds molesting them daily I always have a dozen orange flowers in my back yard.

I'm about to plant 6-8 Red Climbing roses to cover a 20 foot section of chain link. It's the Jackson and Perkins "Don Juan". Really deep red climbers.
