Another Morning Glory Question

I've some M.G. climbing up a little frame but there are so many leaves that I have cut at least 50% off and still I can hardly see the flowers - what few there are. Is this normal. It is the first time I've tried to grow these.

Picture.......



Where they are situated the soil isn't particularly good. I started them by just putting the seed in the ground around about April time.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Oh should have said the frame is about 7feet high.

 

Hi Kryssy, I'm just having a stab at your question - why don't you try feeding with a high potassium fertiliser? Such as tomato feed. As long as the fertiliser is low in nitrogen, anyhow.
Hope this makes some sense.
Love fromm Royster

 

I think they need sunshine Kryssy..........dont we all :D

 

Gosh, that photo could have been taken here ... a definite weed ... but a very beautiful one! Ain't no lack of sunshine here!

 

Right, that's it, the sun ray lamp is coming out tomorrow. Thanks everyone for your help. I'll keep you posted.

 

Wow Roders! That's a great display! Is that all this year's growth?
I have a poor show of about 12" of spindly growth on mine. I started them off in a propagator then put them outside in early may :(

 

RIP my MG :(

What a great photo Roders

Kryssy, even though you have no flowers, your MG has sure grown!

GP :D

 

Kryssy,LoL,Daisybelle,Gillypetunia I have to admit this photo was taken in Crete,they seem to grow wild out there........I think it's the same in Portugal,I seem to recall a similar pic.from LoL.
Here is another...........

 

A similar shot to your, roders. This is on our friend's lane up the road ...

 

:eek: Mine is soooo diddy, :(

 

Mine are like nothing, compared to that! Fantastic.

 

Sorry you got diddy ones, Mef. I got big ones but they are not much good. So you see, size just doesn't matter in some circumstances.

It's nice to see how they should look. I'll try feeding them as Royster suggested. In the meantime will just keep snipping away at the leaves.
