More to be identified
I've chosen to focus on the trellis, as it gives me a place to start.
The plant may be young, as Eric D has said. It's hard to see on the picture, but the trellis is a bit rusty - I'd say a year or two old, although my rust meter isn't as good after living in Utah. The plant doens't seem that healthy right now, but I have no idea what is should look like.

But not all the flowers are purple:

I was going to go be productive this afternoon....
I'm fairly sure... 80% that's clematis. But take anyone's opinion over mine.. My cursory reading says, keep the roots cool(Mulch) regular water, full sun (minimum 6-8 hours)... it looks like something has been eating it a little. maybe caterpillars...... But I think what your seeing as unhealthy is that it's done flowering and the flowers are dying off. But.... I think I would like to see it be just a little bushier... maybe it needed to be cut back last year and didn't get it.
I'd think positive and make sure it gets watered.... the leaves could be a little off color, and may need some feeding.
But maybe what you want is to convince yourself it's dying so you can replace it with something with a more varied color???
So survey says....(assuming you don't want to replace it with say a red or white one) Mulch the roots, keep it watered with everything else, and get some liquid fertilizer.
The other plants.... This BTW is like a game show for me.... Cause I'm so Clueless, once we get past that it's a flower or bulb or a shrub.. I get lost.... but my guesses for the Game show are....
Purple grey green thing..... Russian sage..
white one and red one I'm stumped, the red one is familiar...but....
The white one looks very healthy...

You should be able to get tons of brilliant greens, Beets, brussel sprouts, Onions, potato's and it sounds like tomato's aren't out of the question, may have to watch for fungus resistant varieties.
Hope that helps..... you can probably either now or soon plant for fall harvests.... and you should be able to get some Greens all year round... Chard, Kale
I covered it in the other comments

sounds like a fun challenge. I bet you will have a hard time with the realy hot peppers.
It is clematis--a beautiful plant in bloom and one of my favorites. Eric is right-it is done blooming for the year.
The white one is phlox and the red is Montbretia, I think Crocosmia 'Lucifer'--it is a pretty popular variety(which I had to look up, truth be told). Divide it every couple years or so to keep it happy.
wow--not too shabby for sleeping through my herbaceous class...the slideshow sent me under every time...
White flower thing is definitely phlox - I know b/c I just bought one on Saturday!
Purple flowers on spiky stems look like Russian sage to me.
You can confirm the lavendar identity by crushing some flowers and sniffing.
