I love, love, love morning glories! It's the first plant I can remember loving when I was little! I have some Grandpa Ott's seeds but need to check when is best to start them.
Actually, I'm going to plant my okra seeds in the back of my flower bed this year because I ran out of space in the veggie beds! And I have a few flowers and vines mixed with my herbs. Of course, there are plants that are supposed to repel bugs, like marigolds, that I've tried with the tomatoes. Not sure if they did anything and when the tomato plants grew, they didn't get enough sun and pooped out. Anyone have luck with flowers repelling bugs?
Now, back to blooms!
