    Hello,
    My first post. Great forum/site.
    I have a question on wall covering and was hoping some expects can chime in.
    My backyard is currently surrounded by about 300' of block wall around 6' high.I would like to raise this another 1' and then cover the wall with vines. Without adding another layer of brick, what other measures are available to me to get the vines 1' above the current wall as well as cover the rest of the wall.
    I am looking at more privacy in the back as well as decorate /cover my current wall.
    I live in a dry climate where temps can reach 115 or as cold as 30.
    thanks in advance
    Lee

    There are no plants that can tolerate temperatures 15 degrees above the boiling point of water.

    One of these days I will put in a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter (and vice versa).

    Anyway, 115F = 46C and 30F = -1C.
