    Hi there and welcome. Lovely to have your own space at last to make beautiful. What kind of climbing plants were you thinking of growing?

    I have never grown passion flower, but honeysuckle and jasmin shouldn't be difficult. Honeysuckle likes sun, but will tolerate partial shade. Not sure whether your talking about winter or summer flowering jasmin. Both can be vigorous growers. Unfortunately thats all my summer flowering jasmin did - cos it didn't get enough sun, and I didn't know about potash rich food then. Well one lives and learns eh :D
