The first year I grew them, I watered them with miracle grow every week with the rest of the garden. They grew great but I got very few flowers. Last year I didn't let the miracle grow get on them, and They were just covered with flowers. I guess somethings just don't need alot of care.

See on the left how there are very few leaves at the bottom of the arbor, that is the side I planted the blue ones on. The other side I planted red ones. The red ones make more leaves and are bushier.

Wow, that entire area looks beautiful! I'd love to sit and relax on that garden bench.

I would be amazed if my morning glories were half that size. I didn't start them indoors. Maybe that's why it took longer. I soaked the seeds for 24 hours and then put them directly in the ground. If it's warm in early spring, they have a longer season. That's could go either way. This year no fertilizer on them at all and put them in plain old dirt.

I see your hummer feeders. :)
