Semi-Wordless Wednesday

These are the Morning Glories that I lovingly plant from seed every year in memory of my beloved Grandma Bauerle. I purchase the seeds, start the seedlings indoors, tend to the new plants, harden them off, choose specific soil conditions to fit their needs, and transplant them carefully into the planter with a trellis.

Number of blooms to date: 0

These are the Morning Glories that somehow survive the weekly, savage ripping of weeds around my zucchini plants, get absolutely no care or tending, and have no climbing apparatus available to them--except, of course, my zucchini plants.

Number of blooms to date: 4,239

I give up.
