I've seen photos of 'Grandpa Ott', and think it's a cool looking bloom.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-82303734436479581292012-09-15T13:39:10.327-05:002012-09-15T13:39:10.327-05:00Oh yes, those morning glories!

Larry did a great job of disentangling for you. I doubt those seed pods are ripe yet so you'll probably be okay next year. I am still on the prowl every spring, yanking out the seedlings. Eventually they'll give up. I hope. <br /><br />GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-82590053423414540862012-09-14T22:33:21.934-05:002012-09-14T22:33:21.934-05:00Thanks, Glenda,

I hate doing that, but didn't want to risk putting them on the compost pile.<br /><br />Yes, there used to be a circular bed in that area you saw, and when Larry cut sod to make a new flower bed, he didnt do much of a curve, so it still looks like a circle in part of it.<br /><br />I haven't been by your place lately. I'm having trouble staying awake right now, so hope to stop by tomorrow or the next day. We have our grandsons over every Saturday.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-57240095179271807712012-09-14T22:27:57.326-05:002012-09-14T22:27:57.326-05:00Hi D-Y, It's a good thing I visited your blog ...Hi D-Y, It's a good thing I visited your blog before replying to your comment. I see you are moving in October. Now, I understand why you are busy, and aren't sure how to plan. I am terrible at planning. I do a lot of arranging the plants as I go, and sometimes change my mind later and move them.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-15072895015983891722012-09-14T22:15:22.081-05:002012-09-14T22:15:22.081-05:00Hi Gail,

The dusk ones have chased me in many evenings, though. I've planted hyacinth beans before, but don't remember how they did. That might be something good to plant in the space, if we do end up not letting any of the morning glories grow. I will miss them, though.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-12126949535401671702012-09-14T22:09:53.614-05:002012-09-14T22:09:53.614-05:00Hi Jason, Supporting plants has been a challenge f...Hi Jason, Supporting plants has been a challenge for me, too.

I love morning glories, too, and may decide to try to just have one grow up the pole, but I don't know if Larry will agree to it. I remember walking to elementary school, and thinking the bindweed growing on a fence was pretty.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-17953505685309362492012-09-14T15:18:36.035-05:002012-09-14T15:18:36.035-05:00You are right, the ripened seed will be almost bla...You are right, the ripened seed will be almost black, sort of like a peppercorn. I would leave those vines where they can heat up and decompose just in case some seeds could be viable. I love morning glories but they can take over the world in a very short time!<br /><br />I love the new header picture. I have never seen that view of the front gardens that shows the circular bed so well. <br /><br />My challenge has been the heat and drought!

They are so wonderful.<br /><br />I'd say staking and watering have been my biggest challenges this summer. I normally do very little watering but this year I have been constantly dragging around the soaker hose. With the rain I've been given a respite.<br /><br />And the soil is too rich, so my tall plants grow extra tall even with the drought. I ended up buying 10' rebar.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-18045832756737679052012-09-13T20:50:12.415-05:002012-09-13T20:50:12.415-05:00I've always had an affinity for morning glory-...I've always had an affinity for morning glory--but it's so invasive. A vine took over one of the tomato beds this summer, another tangled its way into the squash, and then a few decided to behave and just fill in nicely on the bare bits of fence. Still, even though they are pesky, they make me think of my childhood. My mom always had morning glory covering a fence, and they somehow just seemed magical to me.
