Morning Glories

In no particular order, I'll describe what is going on with everything.

We'll start with the Morning Glories. If you recall, they looked crispy when the seeds started sprouting. I thinned out some of them. Some started to grow from that and others were still struggling.

I got desperate and tried to figure out what to do to help them. So, I staked them. According to the various sources I found, that helps them grow. Or at least that helps them grow straight up, which is something the plant is designed by nature to do. I bought a gob of dowels and tied them off to the dowels.

It would seem that some of these websites aren't crazy. The majority of the flowers have grown like, well, weeds (which is another problem I have). Most are now over 4 inches tall and growing with pretty good speed. The large quantities of rain have also helped them. They grow to 3 feet tall, so they'll eventually overtake most of those dowels, and will have pretty blue flowers.
