I have a 5 foot high chain link fence that I would like to plant some kind
of ivy or something that will grow up the fence and give me some privacy,
I would like it to stay green for as long as possible into the colder
months.
I live in the north east and I am not sure what to plant if anything. Maybe
something
that also will flower? Thank you for any info.

English Ivy will thrive like bamboo.

I'm planning the same thing, but just kind of decided on morning glories.
From what I've seen of them, it seems like they will do a decent job. Yeah?

Yes. They'll grow rapidly and flower. They are an annual though and will die
off each year.

In Michigan, I'm having great luck with Deadly Nightshade. It grows
like a weed (you can transplant it by hacking off a section, putting
it near the fence, and just putting a little dirt on it), loves to
climb, and not only tolerates abuse, it seems to enjoy it.
It is poisonous, but tastes so bitter that no human or animal can
stand to eat enough to actually poison themselves. And it is very
pretty.
