Morning Glories

Last week I planted Morning Glory seeds in a few pots around here.

I figured it would give me lots of green and color for little money.

I soaked the seeds in water over night after piercing each seed with 

a nail to cut through the tough outer coating.

This lets them sprout much faster.

Three days later I had little sprouts coming up. 

I'm watering twice a day and waiting for them to grow.

 In the past I only thought about Morning Glories growing up on trellises.
But they can grown from hanging pots downward too.
I love that a dead tree is covered in Morning Glories in that photo above.

Have you done Morning Glories before?

I did a few years ago in one pot in back and I really loved them.

This time I planted on the front side of the house.

I have not forgotten about showing you my friend, Keith's 

pea gravel patio.

His yard is amazing!

I got to the party just as the sun was setting because I worked late.

So I am going over again next week to take photos.

I'll share when I do.
all photos from my Container Gardening folder on Pinterest.
