well I'm glad no one named the morning glories. They didn't survive the cold snap. I wonder how long this will continue. The 10 day forecast didin't show a let up. Anyone have any idea?
The carolina jasmine hasn't sprouted and it's been about forever so I'm thinking I put the red cypress vine in to germinate. I've got to be able to get at least one vine going here. Either that the the purple passion is going to spend the summer outside lol.

No, morning glories do not like early cold weather, they like warm soil when they are starting out... But go figure, the seeds can survive outdoors, if grown outside the year before and reseeds' it's self.. in some cases.. I have had them reseed by the base of my house, I am looking forward to seeing if some reseed in the raised bed I did this summer between the two houses/driveways..... It's snowing again here today, so no more spring weather.

Well today I planted the red cypress vine and the cardinal climber vine and I transplanted the love lies bleeding and the desert honeysuckle and the chinese lanterns. I actually left the desert honeysuckle in the egg cartons to long. The tap root had sunk itself into the carton material lol. I need to plant more of the chinese lanterns but it will probably wait another day or so. I also notice that the hycinthia bean vine doesn't play well with others so from now on only one bean per pot lol. I've also notice that the cinnamon basil doesn't transplant well so it will all so be only a couple of plants per final container so I don't have to watch them die. I harvested the large cinnamon basil today and made pesto with the harvest. It was only a half a cup but I had to do it because it was trying to flower everywhere. Hopefully it will stop that in the near future.

Google PIGWEED, that is what the wild one green one is called, and I have that stuff galorrre around here, *came in a load of my last supposed top soil* and its' an easy baby weed to pull out, but once it gets ahold of a root system in the regular ground and you can't get it out easily..

Good luck with them Penny. Did you order the pelletized ones? the seeds are pretty small at least for this tired old eyes. If not you may want to mix the seeds with the sand like someone was telling me too. I ended but with clusters and the plants have such delicate stems that I'm having to leave them that way. I'm afraid trying to thin them I would end up killing them all.

They are cousins's though... If you take a look at any info on Amaranth, that's what the family comes from, Googled for Green Amaranth And it'll say, Pigweed... But the hybridizers, breed out the "Weedie" looking stuff and breed for the better lookie, or better behaving traits... And then they come up with the stuff we buy.. Honest..

are the wild ones the ones you can grind into flour? I am so tempted to try that. It's suppose to produce a nutty flavored flour. Do you know anything about that?
