Is it OK to plant a vegetable garden next to a fence as long as it still gets full sun?

Yes. One suggestion is to put next to the fence; peas or vining flowers. When they start growing, route the vines towards the fence.

The blooms will attract bees which intern cause pollination. It will also have a nice effect for scenery. Avoid larger melons growing in that spot.

Melons tend to need alot of space for growing. The vines tend to be large and could cause extra weight on the fence. A cumbersome job of clearing dead vines also when the season is over.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
