I started my morning glory and sunflower seeds two weeks ago in 3" pots, the
kind that decompose in the ground. I am a little surprised to see they are
all sprouted and growing so fast. The morning glories are already 7-8"
inches tall and some roots have started to sprout through the bottom. The
problems is I live in NW Ohio and it says the last frost is May 16th. That
is over six weeks away! Won't these things get out of hand? What should I
do?

Kill them, wait two weeks, and start over. Morning glories grow like
weeds around me. I never start them indoors. Around the end of April I
rejuvenate the containers that are allowed to have MGs and then manually
seed outside carefully marking where they should be -- with the variety
I want. Our last frost date here is May 16th too.
