Some years ago, Omi got it into her head to plant morning glory around the telephone pole out front of Second St. For many months, the gorgeous blue and pale purple blossoms adorned the tall wooden pole each morning.
A few years later, Simon and I planted some Morning Glory, and -- for a few weeks -- said plants wound their way around the ugly metal stakes of our balcony at the apartment.
This year, Simon decided he wanted to plant both Morning Glory and Moon Flowers; the latter features glorious white flowers which blossom in the evening and send off an intoxicating aroma, and Simon thought it would be good to have the full day covered, rather than restricting his spendid balcony garden to the morning only.
Not to be deterred by starting from scratch and waiting patiently for the seeds to sprout, Simon forbid me from planting any other annuals in his Morning Glory/Moon Flower planter box, so here we are on day one. Even the dog is unimpressed by the apparently empty box thus far!
