    It sounds like you are doing all you can with the passion vine. The only other thing I can recommend is to up the frequency of watering. Plants in containers typically get too little water, even in the best case, so increasing frequency will ensure there is more water available to the plant at all times, which will result in better growth and fruit production.

    Broccoli is ALOT trickier, especially if you are growing it in containers or in a warm climate. Broccoli grows best when the roots are kept cool. The best fertilizer and soil in the world will not help if the roots get warm. Heavy mulch and frequent watering can help with this, as can shading during warm weather. If you are growing in a container, I have heard that placing ice cubes on top of the soil daily can help.

    It may still be too young to bloom. In fact, it may take another season before your plant begins flowering. In addition, the soil may have more nitrogen than phosphorus, which is responsible for the blooming. Add some phosphorus rich fertilizer or bone meal to the soil to help with flowering.

    Your soil may be lacking phosphorus. If there is a lack of phosphorus in the soil, plants will have little to no blooms. You can either use a phosphorus rich fertilizer or add some bone meal to the soil.

    These wild forms of passion flower are also known as maypop. If they are growing somewhere in which you have permission to dig up some, then you can grow them along your pergola. Just ensure that the growing conditions mimic those in which you found the vine. As for the maypop fruit, it is edible but may not be that tasty.

    Many things may have killed it. If it died very suddenly and you did not see any damage to the leaves prior, I would look at the roots and see if you can spot a problem there. Another possibility is that if you were spraying an herbicide near it, there may have been overspray that got on the plant and this may have killed it suddenly as well.

    These plants will normally die down for winter dormancy, thus, not requiring too much pruning. Here is an article or two on overwintering passion flowers that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/preparing-a-passion-flower-vine-for-winter.htm

    The passionflower fruit is edible. After turning from green to orange, it's ripe and ready for eating.
