They do not touch the wilderness of kerria past the south driveway. I suspect the county knows the kerria is holding the soil and if they do away with it they'll have to bring in fill. <br /><br />Vinca will reseed. You just have to stir the soil to bring them up to the light so they can germinate when the weather gets really, really hot. The reseeders are less prone to disease.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-91205211966812323212011-09-03T12:08:48.933-05:002011-09-03T12:08:48.933-05:00I am the same way on the morning glories.

I think they are pretty if they would just stay in place! My mother always had volunteer petunias-so pretty! For hot and dry-vincas and marigolds- can't be beat in my experience.Bev J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18075881108883630511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-68679391496524632722011-09-03T11:33:14.078-05:002011-09-03T11:33:14.078-05:00Your morning glories go crazy and mine don't e...Your morning glories go crazy and mine don't even come up. lol Your petunias look really pretty with the rosemary.

Too bad they came and mowed the ditch though...oh well I bet they come back next year. I planted some when we lived in the city and we had just planted a perennial garden with trellises. I just wanted to hide the bare trellis until the roses and clematis grew up but holy cow that stuff took over everywhere! I was pulling out Morning Glories for what seemed like forever out of there once the other plants matured. I thought of planting some along one of our fences but it's southwest of the garden so I'm thinking I'd be asking for trouble down the road if I did. Your Vinca looks great...love the color. This was sure a bad year for a lot of gardeners all over the States...sure hope next year is better for all of us. Hey enjoy the cool weather that's on it's way...our high today is to be 95 with a 40% chance of storms but 78 tomorrow...sunny with a low of 50...WOOOHOOO can't wait!<br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.com
