Please inspire me with squashes!

I've got a very bare bit of fence up which I used to grow raspberries.

(first time trying to upload a photo - hope this works)

Unfortunately they took over, despite my best efforts and had to come out (luckily we've a very good fruit farm down the road   ). I'd like to grow something which could be replenished each year, rather than a permanant plant and I was wondering about climbing squashes.

Renewing and adding more/stronger wires wouldn't be a problem, all I need is some inspiration for something which would grow in a small spot like this and which tastes fab. The root area would be heavily shaded by the raised beds, but it's a lovely sunny spot with a little shade from crops in the bed.

Any ideas gratefully received   !

What about runner or climbing beans?  

I've tried to grow cucumbers up rather than along for 2 years now and they won't have it.  I guess other squash-type plants might be better behaved.

Thanks for the link Chuffy   .

Greenowl - I grow my runner beans on my very small bit of allotment, but grow my climbing beans and peas in the raised beds so that they leave some nitrogen behind. Although I hadn't through of branching out into something more exotic in the bean world  :o ...
