A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Don't Laugh

Well ok, you can laugh if you want to. This is what I did this time.

I wanted a nice display of flowers for my shed, which is at the end of my driveway. So of course I needed to use a flower box. No problem except that the red, yellow and black japanese morning glories ended up being pink and purple.

Ok so this year comes around and the vines are going again and making a nice cover for the trellis that is next to the shed wall and I'm happy right.

Well I was until I realized that in order to fix the shed I needed to move the flower box and trellis. A tricky piece of navigation. But I decided that I'm going to scoot it over to the side no problem right? Until I begin moving it and find out the the vines aren't growing out of the flower box they had fallen between the black top and the shed and had managed to grow from there and find the trellis and climb it.

So I lost the vines for this year. But I've got clear space to do the repairs and paint so it's not all bad.

I am not laughing, Tammy. We all learn together. Most times by making mistakes.

I think we've all had times like that, where the frustration comes and you just gotta to do what you gotta do. Poor little vines. Oh well there will be more again next year.

TK I agree no one will laugh at that---things happen, but those happenings give us the chance to improve on the original plan. I wish you the best of luck

I admit I did chuckle a little bit because stuff like that happens to me all the time.
