Re: Do you grow veggies, fruits, or herbs?

I have a confession and it's good for the soul. I am deathly afraid of climbing, twinning things like morning glories. I call it my Jack in the Beanstalk syndrome. I have 100+ roses and not a climber amongst them. My husband is
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?
