This morning glory I am unsure from where its seed came. I was glad I grew it way back in 2006. I need to grow it again to refresh the seed supply and thus keep the line alive.

I added the product to my garden containers last night, just in time for a soft rain to soak it in. The microbes in the product will work on the YumYum Mix fertilizer I applied not long ago. That way the plant-available nutrients will be there at transplant time in May.

There is something about the serene beauty of mutant Japanese morning glory leaves that I love. I thought they were especially lovely this afternoon when the sun made a silhouette of them.
