I'm new to growing morning glories. I have one that come back and takes over the garden every summer. This year I wanted to grow from seed. I have a young plant that I think is ready to go in the garden. I have an arbor that I want to grow these seedlings on, but it starts about 15" above the ground. What should I use between the ground and the arbor to get the young plants climbing?

Thanks. Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to the MG Forum...(!)


You could use bamboo canes / stakes , chicken wire , twine or anything like branches from any trees or bushes...there are many materials that could act as a bridge for the relatively small gap...


TTY,...

Hi Ron,

I had thought of using twine. But sticks are a good idea since I have many of those. I thought chicken wire might have openings that were too small. I have the same situation for some climbing nasturtiums and decided chicken wire wouldn't do. Thanks for the suggestions.

Not like I need another addiction, but I can see that might happen because there are so many beautiful MG's. I think I'll have to spend more time here so I can learn about them.
