Help with climber seedlings
How do people keep climber seedlings under control ?
Withouy stakes to climb they tie themseves in knots. Give them stakes and they immediately prefer their neighbour's stake - and still get tied up in knots! My Mina Lobata seedlings are just reaching the naughty stage now. Lots more seeds to go in tomorrow - morning glory, chilean etc. etc. so in a few weeks time I'll have tendrills everywhere. Thanks Mike |

Help with climber seedlings
Go out once or twice a day and help them go around the stake they are
supposed to go up. I secure them with trash bag ties, or the ones like grocery stores put out for you to use after putting produce in plastic bags. Have fun. Dwayne "Mike Hunter" wrote in message ...

I put two or three seeds in each 4" pot and add stakes as they start to grow.........I then space the pots out a bit as they start to get bigger. Maybe you could put lower growing things in rows between the climbers ? Or use some type of semi rigid clear plastic between them ? Jenny |
