Thank you, Jiffymouse!
Where would I ask about climbing plants?

Hi, Dodge!
I looked it up and I believe I'm in 8b. I didn't even think of Morning Glorys and I love them! We used to have some big blue ones when I was a little girl (not that long ago  ; I'm still a teenager).
Where do you suggest that I start, Dodge? What is the first thing that I need to do? Do I need to plan first (if so, what needs to be planned?) or just start adding plants that I want to grow? Sorry for all the questions!
Alice

We're at 4,124'. That'd be Zone 3.

Thank you, Jiffymouse! I'm going to write there and ask about how to care for my Tombstone Rose. I just found the link at the top of the page about "Gardening Basics." I'll see what I can find out and then ask my questions.

Dodge,
Will the cypress vine grow in my zone? I looked for pictures of it on google and it is pretty. Is it a type of morning glory? Is it the fifth picture in this link: http://www.fothergills.ca/?crn=237 ? That was one of the pictures that came up when I googled "cypress vine."
The loft is about 7' tall. There are areas of full sun, partial sun, and almost constant shade. There is a solid roof on 2/3 of it and only a chicken wire covering on the South 1/3 of it. The East wall is wood, not chicken wire.

That sounds easier because then I don't have to worry so much about trying to search for what can and can't grow. If I do that, then all that I have to worry about is what plants I like; if some won't grow, they'll be plenty more that I like.

maybe search for natives (or adaptive) for your area!
