I have just put mine out (only three from the seed I had sown) Do they have to be tied in as they grow or do they cling and dont need help?

They grow really fast Biggy - think of Jack and the Beanstalk  They put out feelers and go for it |

The 22 potted on have survived two days so think will start to think about hardening off and then sowing outside

I planted out some of my MG yesterday. Some have gone into the ground to replace the rose I dug out and some have gone into a pot. They seem ok this morning except for a few munched leaves on the ones that are in the ground.

Do you think it was rabbits or slugs Jasmine?

Slugs I think LG - if the rabbits liked them they would all be gone I think. I've put down some of those advanced slug pellets that aren't suppoed to harm other wildlife - I worry about the baby birds at this time of the year.

I know what you mean Jasmine, but sometimes needs must. My MG are doing really well in the mini greenhouse, they'll have to stay there for a while longer.

I have sown more Morning Glorys---I only hope these 'new' ones survive-they have the first set of 'true' leaves so I think I will wait another week before putting them in the garden.
LG--These are the seed you kindly posted to me--Thank you--Bigs

It is with sad news I have to report the demise of all my MG's - over 20 of them So I wont be posting on this Thread again Oh Jenny  Mine aren't looking as well as they might. I've decided I've put them out too early and that they really are quite delicate little things until they get going. I should have waited a few more weeks I think. |

That's a shame JW. Is it too late to start some more - I have some seed I think if you would like some? I'll double check tonight for you.
I'm still mollycoddling mine - they go out during the day but tucked up a corner out of the wind and they come in at night. They could do with being moved on but I think I will hang on for another week or so just in case.
