Help on fencing decisions?

16 years ago

I am in the initial stages of setting up my potager. My house is in Chicago - so space is at a premium - a huge premium. Unfortunately - I first need to put up a fence between my and the neighbors yard - one has not been there for several owners on either side. My back fence which I was thinking of matching is about 6' solid wood with the final 6 " lattice. The fence needing to be built is to the north side of the property.

However I know that there is a period of about a month in high summer where the shadows actually fall slightly to the south. Wondering how putting up a high solid fence would effect my plantings in that area?

The design of beds inside that area is not yet determined, but a raised bed against that fence is very likely.

Your expert thoughts are appreciated!
