To contrast of the deck - Black from Tula and Bull's Heart in the garden were continuous producers all season long, even during the hottest months (and awful humidity in VA)

I always had good production from heatwave II on my upper deck (2 stories up) it does not have the high fence like you had described just a normal post railing. NBD did ok up there last two years as well I think the dwarfs might to better witht he rugose foliage and smaller growth so the containers do not dry out as fast. Here is a link to a thread of the plants as of Sunday.
