    Good morning I have 3 panels of fencing which need covering and want to keep within the woodland theme,now the problem is on going bindweed problem growing through from a neighbour's garden ,I have been removing it for years,and if I plant anything such as a hedge it just completely entangle what ever is growing there,so I am toying with the idea of training it all over the fence ,using it to my advantage if you like,what do you all think;)

    I would be tempted to plant a honeysuckle (or three!!) along there. Lots of different varieties, varying flowering times, etc. The foliage is similar to bindweed (which can sometimes be v frustrating). But if you are happy to tolerate it, they could intertwine, you would have big showy white flowers, as well as perfume, and a little softening framework from the honeysuckle through the winter.
