Rain and cool temperatures are making my

    1. Yes, do try again! They like to be moist and have some shade!

    1. That trellis is taller than me....I think it loves where it's planted because I don't have to do anything to it until mid summer, then it needs a little water if it's dry. You could grow one on your balcony and let it drape down. It would be like Jack's bean stalk! haha.

  5. So so beautiful, Betsy. I have tried a couple of times to grow them, but not had much luck...but haven't tried since we've been in this house. Maybe I should give it another go and see what happens. Your trellis is really pretty also...love the top of it, especially. :)

    1. I think you should try again! This one was under $5 at Lowes a few years ago. It likes water and shade, so maybe you can find a good spot for it!

    1. The sky is what is glooming.
      So cold and dooming!
      My toes were cold,
      looking blue and not gold.
