I took precautions — I thought — to plant my morning glory in a contained area to limit its spread. But that bad boy wrapped around standing solar lights of a flower and a hummingbird and bent them to the ground. I could trim it at night and by morning it had entwined itself around the plant resting in the planter next door.
Yesterday, I pulled the sucker out of the ground.
While beautiful at first, this plant stopped blooming weeks ago. Instead, it simply went in search of other plants to consume.
Once I jerked it from its home near the deck, I threw the vines — roots and all — into the woods. Today, I’m wondering if I should go get it back and light it on fire just to ensure it doesn’t take over the entire place out here. 🙂
With mistakes often come successes.
I don’t claim to have a green thumb. And while you might not be impressed with the plant in the photo below, I think it’s beautiful.
I didn’t plan for it to have a flowing and aesthetically pleasing shape, but it does. Unlike the morning glory, it stays in its own lane.
Now we know: In the 1960s, a major conflict broke out between Brazil and France that essentially argued about whether lobsters walked or swam. At its peak, both countries sent out warships to protect their fishing zones.
