How about some Moon Flowers to go with those Morning Glorys.

Wow, those are large.

So Japanese beetles love morning glory leaves.

Also, my Celosia is losing color as it grows. Anybody know anything about that? Thought I'd hit it with a little P&K..

 

[Tinkerbelle]

too much or too little water makes the colour fade

 

[Uncle Eckley]

Hmm. How to tell which way?

 

[Tinkerbelle]

don't water for a while and see what happens - if it drops dead then you've got your answer

EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about Celosia fade lol.

Yebbut I didn't want to frighten him with the disease bit

 

[Uncle Eckley]

I hefted the pot and it's really heavy. So less water.

Meh. We're all diseased. I certainly appreciate your consideration, though.

 

[Tinkerbelle]

always best to try the simplest explanation first
You can remind me of that when I'm panicking over my peppers

So Japanese beetles love morning glory leaves.

And beans, and corn, and peppers, and herbs, and ...

They've been absolutely crazy this year.
