On the same subject of persevering and being patient with plants I must tell you that the morning glory that you inspired me to grow eventually flowered. I did transfer the weedy seedlings that were being munched by slugs outside into the covered yard for protection. When we arrived back from our time in Italy they looked healthier and had started to flower.
