CSump’s Question
Posted by Christine Sumption | October 8, 2013This year for the first time I grew Heavenly Blue morning glories all along the fence in my side yard, and they're beautiful. The seed packet says that they're annuals. Any chance that they'll overwinter? Do I cut down the vines when/if they fade? Any chance they'll reseed? Any advice you may have is welcome. Thanks, Chris

Sungron’s Question
Posted by | October 6, 2013Thanks for the advice on storing dahlias for replanting. Paper bags sound good to me, but a neighbor swears that keeping them in a dry box of potting soil also works. It seems like a lot of bother and a potential mess to me. Does he know what he's talking about? I can't wait to tell him "no".

Posted by Barb Reed | October 5, 2013I just planted kewensis wintercreeper on a hill to stop erosion where mulch always washes into the driveway. Should I mulch around the groundcover until it fills in or will mulch be harmful? Thankyou
