Vines and trellis..........

It is amazing what a months worth of growth can do for morning glory plants.  I had one start up and it is twisted around a hoe leaning against the corner of the building.  I chose to leave it as I have another hoe.

I created the trellis a few years back from salvaged wood from the school dumpster.  It is funny how one designs with what supplies that you have and it determines the size of the resulting product.  I would have liked it to be about a foot taller but I am pretty pleased with it.  The vine in the foreground is an Asian Mellon.  I bought the seeds from a lumberyard that was carrying seed saver products.  It is an heirloom seed but I don't see any blooms on the plant.  It is on the north so it probably isn't getting enough hot sun.

The trumpeting of the morning glory is wonderful.  I first saw them when I was a kid while walking cornfields in southern Iowa.  The were a smaller variety which was wild and they were always blue.

Thanks for stopping in.........
