The ones in the pots get morning sun and are in total shade by 2pm. The ones on the frame get mid morning sun to mid afternoon sun.

The ones in the pot have to have a little help to grow around the frame otherwise they will just grow straight up. . Every time I do a walkabout or water, I thread the shoots around the frames.

The problem with passies and mg is that the passies have tendrils and end up grabbing the mg shoots and strangling them. I have to police them 2 to 3 times a day now.

MG's on the frame are more prone to hybrids because weather and insect can move pollen around causing hybrids or crosses .. it's called Open Pollination and any time you trade for seeds you should let people know if they are Pure Breds, meaning they were only pollinated to themselves or OP meaning you don't know who pollinated what. To make sure that I have pure bred seeds from the ones in the pots, the night before a bud is to open I'll bag it then the next morning I'll hand pollinate it myself and rebag it so no other pollen can fertilize it. After a day or so when the pistil, the part of the plant that accepts pollen is no longer receptive I'll remove the bag and tag it. I've found that using a laser printer on avery 5267 labels easily last a whole season.
