MORNING GLORIES
They suffered through the August heat and at times I wondered why I was still watering them. They get all afternoon sun and as you recall August was triple digits.
It has been in the high 50's in the morning and they have perked up to say "Oh, what a glorious morning" and are blooming their heads off to prove I was justified in keeping them alive.
Yesterday there were 32 blooms and this morning 24 blooms. I will once again save the seeds as these are the ones I spent so much on at Co-op.
The Kitty Justice is it is Friday night and lots of football to watch. Peyton Manning will be in town this weekend to give the Titans a lesson in AIR BALL.

Add a little osmocote fertilizer before you water and that will revive any life left in them. I know all the plant nursery here are just salivating over all the money they will earn replacing all the trees and scrubs and flowers that the triple digits in August killed.
I chopped all the dead leaves etc., off all the plants yesterday and had a general big clean up. The Morning Glory grows wild here as a weed.I was surprised to see you have it in a pot. I don't treat it as a weed, though...I love it and it creeps all over my gardens to the front side of my cabin. It always reminds me of when I was a child as it grew profusely over one of our fences.
The ones that grow wild here are pale blue and this one is deep purple with a white border. Some are even a dark pink. I saw these at Co op and spent over two dollar and open the pack to find only 4 or five seeds. Needless to say why I collect the seeds each fall.
CD there are several plants I am glad I continued to water as they are now blooming profusely.
