Morning Glories: Morning Glory Support, 1 by atenkley

Here is a view of part of my morning glory garden. It will contain about 120 of my plants. Another 40-50 will be in other areas. I created three rows with posts and strung a tight wire between the posts. I cut cane, which is a locally growing tall, stout grass, a lot like bamboo, for the plants to climb. Each cane is fastened to the wire which keeps everything in line and adds additional support. Most of the cane is approximately 10 feet tall which should be adequate for most plants.

My one concern is that the cane may not be strong enough to support a tall wet plant in the wind....the cane is strong, but not as strong as bamboo. Each stake is 18 inches apart and I will keep each vine contained to one cane. I will probably have to manually tie the branching vines to contain them.

The barn in the background is another unfinished project....!
