Hi Tab & all,

Loads of MG info here, thanks for bringing it up. I have some I. nil seeds from Beckygardener, and also from Bluespiral, but I thought it was a little too early to start them inside...not true?

I need to buy more 14-16" pots and do the tee pee thing that Becky has done, but I could also use tree branches, since I have a lot of those!!!

I once saw a picture (actually a line diagram witht he words in Japanese) where you are supposed to pinch MGs after the 7th leaf -- about 9-11" above ground, so it might be sets of leaves, not individual leaves. The point is, I think they get fuller and better looking if you keep pinching them, though it will delay bloom.

Do any of you pinch yours? I'll try to google for it tomorrow and see if I can find anything, although Tab is the Google Queen. :)

Here's a I. nil aka JMG aka Japanese Morning Glory I grew inside from seed. As you can see from outside the window, it is about this time of year.
