Plant breeders have added some colors to morning glory's pallet, pink, red, purple, and white, in addition to the original dark blue.

 Glories grow readily from seeds, but you don't have to rush to get them in ground in the spring. The seeds are unwilling to sprout when the soil is still cool. The seeds are small hard pellets. You can speed their germination in late spring by soaking overnight in water or lightly scratching each seed coat. Morning glories are seldom sold in planting pots because they don't transplant well.

 Once started they grow rapidly in summer and bloom freely late summer in fall. They like full sun and fair to good soil but are not particular. The vine's abundant leaves are heart-shaped, 4 to 5 inches long. The trumpet shape flowers stay open mostly in the mornings and cloudy days.

  You may want to remove all blooms before they go to seed to prevent morning glory "weeds" from sprouting all over the following May.

 The vines grow about eight feet though some varieties grow in bush form, 18 inches tall. The vining forms need a fence or trellis for their tendrils to cling to.

  Sweet peas grow in full sun in the spring or partial shade. Good, well-drained soil is best. Mulch helps to keep the roots moist. Fertilize with manure tea or liquid fertilizer every six weeks. Sweet peas tend to die out when the weather turns very hot.
