which direction does the fence run in?
Realise that the sun is directly overhead at about noon. This is the point at which your plants will receive the most direct light, and so, I would advise that you use this, with the afternoon sun.
Generally, temperatures will be warmer over this period too, which depending on how hot it is, may be good or bad for the plants.

Morning sun is the best. It my be hotter through the day but the morning is when the plant uptakes its essential nutrients and that good morning sun helps it out. Not sure where I read this but, It is better in the morning. The ambient light in the afternoon will also provide light. I am in the same prediciment as you.
The only think I was thinking is, I live in upstate NY in the wine country of the finger lakes.
All of the best wineries are on the west side of the lakes picking up that morning sun. But these aren't grapes
I am using a couple of smart pots and I will try each side and see how it turns out.
Seeming how I am more confused than before now.
