    Dovefromabove probably has the best idea ; trouble free low maintenance succulents for the summer months ; multicolored plants in terra-cotta pots would look good .

    Aeoniums , Crassulas , Echeverias etc . especially the white 'bloomed' varieties . A nice gritty growing medium would reduce overwatering risks posed by heavy rainfall ; just remember to keep away from the worst of any frosts .

    I take it you don't see 'eye to eye' with your neighbours then !image

    She makes a drama out of everything. It's not worth it!

    Kind of you to register a vote of confidence Edd but I think your gallantry is unneeded ... I've a feeling it's the OPs neighbour who has the dramatic tendencies (although I did once have a part in A MidSuffolk Night's Dream image three evening performances and a matinee).

    Isn't it awful when you have to fear thy neighbour! 

    Perhaps try growing some (box hedge) BALLS on your side.

     Dove has never been like that Kathy43 . You must be mistakenimage

     Ha ha, I don't believe dove could be as dramatic as her.

    She used to go mad if my runner beans went on her side. She would throw them on to our lawn! Our neighbour, not dove! 

    I'd of just eaten them!

    She stands in the window all day, watching everything. If a have a delivery, it's the highlight of her day. It's quite off putting when your in the garden

    Some people really don't have enough to do. Is there no amateur dramatic society in the area?  they've been known to provide acceptable mischief for idle hands to doimage

    Why not fasten a couple of electrical terminals to the fence ; ask her over for a chat (!!) ; remove the terminals after dark then say you found her that way the next morning ?imageimage

    If your budget runs to it, I would suggest putting your own fence immediately inside here - solid panels or trellis as you see fit.  That way you can have your privacy and plant what you like to grow up them.

    You can also buy wooden planters with a trellis back panel and grow things up those.
