    And whatever the question was, please have another go.  I have morning glory seedlings which are threatening to take over my house, and am not sure what to do with them next !

    My question was do I need to pinch out growing tips on my morning glory seedlings? Hope you can see my post this time!

    Try pinching out the tops so they get a bit bushy?   Works for sweet peas.  Whatever you do, don't put them out until the last frosts in May.   You could start hardening them off by moving them outside by day but always bring them in at night.  They really don't like to get cold.

    I've gardening for years, but never had much success with seeds. Have pinched my sweet peas, now waiting for the warmth of the sun to arrive.

    I think we're all having a similar problem-seeds and young plants taking over the house but if there's no greenhouse or something to put them in the temptation is to stick them out and it's really too soon for most of the country. It's worth persevering as it would be a shame for everyone's hard work to go to waste if plants are stuck outside  and then die.image

    I'm growing them and chopped the tops off, partly because they were getting uncontrollable. I'll report on the results.

    I've grown Morning Glory for years - I've never pinched the tips out - I grow them as I do my runner beans, up a wigwam, and treat them very similarly - except Don't eat the Morning Glory!

    I am trying to grow some from seeds harvested from last year's gorgeousness I bought from local garden centre. I loooooved it so much, wondering if they'll do anything.

    They're in t'greenhouse now, popped them in 3 days ago... How long do they take to germinate? Impatient, I know!
