Any suggestions on a fast growing vine that is safe for children and would do well in a zone 2b climate?

I am building a fort with my children in our backyard. We have used sections of drift wood, standing vertical, for the walls, and would love to plant a vine around these walls to help fill them in and possibly even cover the roof (either chickwire or smaller pieces of wood).... I live in Winnipeg, so I would need something that would thrive in a 2b plant hardiness zone, and as I still have an infant, the plant would have to be safe if accidentally ingested.





I've had one suggestion to stay away from Ivy (not safe for young children), but to try hops (technically not a vine, but act like one). Not sure if these would grow in my area, or how to find them.





I am open to look into an other ideas. I've asked at local garden stores, but all they can tell me is the price of what they have on their shelves!?!?!





Thanks to anyone who might be able to help me.

Morning Glory seeds are poisonous to kids and pets. Not good choice.


Hops can grow up to 40 ft and be pretty intense. Don't know about those either.





Annual Vines are good choice if you want quick results this summer and you could plant a perennial clematis along with it that would kick in next year or year after(usually takes 3 yrs to really get established and flowering)





Ideas.......


You have kids---what about growing mini pumpkins up fence. The vines grow quickly and flower all summer with great yellow flowers. In August or September you will little pumpkins the kids can pick. Jack B Little or Baby Boo are perfect variety for this.





Brown Eyed Susan Vines (Thumbergia) comes in regular yellows, oranges and white. Also newer varieties come in great shades of pinks.





Scarlet Running Beans- Grows fast and have great red flowers that hummingbirds and butterflies love.





Climbing nasturtium -vines grow very quickly and has yellow, orange,red or pink flowers. Flowers are actually edible in salads.





Here is link w/photos to vining plants w/lots of clematis:

Reply:have you ever tried or thought of morning glory, these spread quickly but I must warn you , it is extremely invasive.
