The berries usually have odd shapes and some are quite small. We've also noticed little slugs invading. Do you have any suggestions? Posted: 7:20 pm on May 6th

Two summers ago, they actually busted through the screen in my kitchen window and were growing inside my house. Morning glories just don't know when to quit. I don't know if this is helping your phobia or not...

Anyway, we have a whole section devoted to growing vines that you might want to check out:

nostalgic over the morning glories his mother faithly planted each spring and bought me 3 packs of seeds last week with the expectation, of course, that I plant them. I have taken the first step, soaking them in water, hoping they'll get accidentally tossed, but now I find myself checking them every hour to see if anything is happening.

Question: How do you get them to start climbing up a support and what is the simplest support to use? Will they "tumble" down over a wall as well as grow up one? Posted: 3:12 pm on February 23rd
