Wanted to share with some of you about those wild morning glory's I was reading about earlier in the planting season last spring. I noticed many of you wrote about not likeing them. I had to surrender, as I have so many I wasn't about to do anything other than try to become friendly with them, which I did. NOW, am I glad. Every morning since about May, I would go out to check on the garden. Since I have a homemade trellis, very funky, but cute, of pecan branches, these little lavender morning glories have taken it over. At first I was bummed, not now though. Every morning I would see those cute little black and yellow bumble bees out there pollinating away. THOSE cuties just adore those morning glory's. My tomatoe plants are planted right next to that trellis, and I just read that bumble bees are great for tomatoe plants. Now am I glad I didn't pull all of them up, as I have had prolific tomatoe plants as far as fruit goes. So happy for those little bees and happy to have a place to read such great info. |

Your right they are very pretty as long as they are not in a cotton or bean field. I appreciate the flowers much more years after it was my job to chop them out of the fields. It's amazing how different some plants look in a different setting. Even the flowers on a cockleburr are pretty, But that is one I can't seem to get friendly with. I have several different vines that come up at my house every year and I let most of them stay. |
