Oh my, I so enjoyed the pics! I love those glories!! I have a protected area under the eves of the house. Do you suppose that if I planted now that they might do okay this winter? I usually have luck with the geraniums in that same area. The Zinnas are still in full bloom but the glory seeds...

Your pics are beautiful. I love morning glories!! Not the wild tiny ones ,but the big blue ones. I think they are called "Heavenly Blue". They are the ones I have tried to order. Planted some seed that a friend sent me once 2 years ago, but the white flies were very fond of them too.:th A few...

I'm a newby on the computer and the forum but have been reading for a few months. The seeds are so tiny in the Canna. Can you take a tuber from the bottom and plant it? That is how I do mine. I have them all over the yard and the neighborhood!!!:)

Sorry to take such a long time to get back!!!. The Morning glory climbs all over the cotton crops. The tendrils will grow right into the cotton bolls. Maybe now that we aren't really urban any longer, the sale of the seed isn't such a problem. I have seen it for sale at some of the stores. I...

I don't enjoy the heat but it is hard to stay out of the garden. I have an old sheet and some palm fronds that cover the top of my garden space. The garden gets plenty of sun from the sides of the space and the tomatoes and I appreciate the shaded roof!. I always wear a hat or scarf and...

We get property irrigation on our lot and I water in between because of the weather. They are in a small raised bed about 6'x8' that includes my compost bin. They are trailing on the chain link fence but have never wilted. I put the plants in late annd they were the last the nursery had-no name...
