Gardening... in the real world.

We moved to a new house last year and now that spring is here, I want to plant some climbing plants to decorate our dog-run. At the old house, I've always grown Morning Glories, Moonflowers, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, and Roses since their perennial so I don't have to replant each year. We planted the Honeysuckle and Jasmine at the new house last year (The rose bushes too, but they died :C) and I'm planting the Morning Glories and Moonflowers soon. There's still a lot of empty space along the fence, so does anyone know any other good climbing plants that work well in a southern/mesic climate?

Ivy, perhaps? It's about the only climbing plant that I know. And no, not the poisonous kind.

How about growing some wisteria. I don't know whether it will work and grow well in the climate you described but it is a nice climbing plant. Here is a pic-

Wisteria and Ivy sound really good. Thanks! ^^

Ooh yes, wisteria grows quite well in Texas; I've got a great big plant of it overtaking one of the backyard fences out back. Other than that I'm not sure what can be terribly drought-resistant (I'm guessing you live in West Texas with your climate description)

Well actually our house is sort of the rain-drain of our street, because of the way the water drain system is situated. So with all the unexpected 5-minute-rainshowers in Texas (lol) we have a really well watered lawn.
I think the Wisteria sounds great!

Oh, and does anyone know any good flowers too?

I've got snapdragons and lilies growing blooming now... we used to have tons of daisies but I don't know where they are now. There's actually a raspberry bush growing by the pool now, ever thought about growing one of those?

You make it sound as if your Daisies have got out of the ground and escaped from your evil clutches.........

If your thinking of making your garden surreal and intriguing then why not a Passion Fruit plant. They bring out these amazing flowers-

do you just want flowers and such or vegetables too? if you don't mind veggies then you can grow green beans! I'm going to do that this year....well my mom is...
