To my dismay, some of my morning glories were accidentally sprayed with a weed killer. Needless to say, they are not looking so good right about now. I know my chances of saving them are next to nothing, but does anybody have any ideas? They are not dead yet, just kind of curled over and well on their way. Thanks for your help!

So sorry about you MG:s. I do hope they make it and I have no clue on what to do except shower them fast with water after the accident.

A tip when you do need to spray anything in the garden that you only want on ""THAT"" place.
Take a big bucket. cut off the bottom.
Place the bucket over the weed/plant or what ever it is you want sprayed.
Spray down into the bucket on the plant you want sprayed. LEAVE the bucket there untill you dont see any "spraymist"
That way you can never accidently have other plants sprayed.

They miiight make it.In addition to good advise already given try shielding the plants from the sun for a while until they hopefully recover. I did the same thing to some of mine and about 1/3 of them died and the other ones grew new leaves and made it just fine. Time will tell.

Thanks for the advice. I'm hoping they'll pull through, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. The bucket idea is a good way of doing it.
