I don't know??? I am not much of a gardener. I put nothing there/ added nothing to the soil. I had them in the same place last year.

Like was it bagged soil from previous years?
Or straight ole garden dirt/soil??
Second question would be have you used any
fertilizers on them?
If yes, what were the numbers on it?
(ie: 10-40-10)
Trying to figure out if there is some source of
too much nitrogen somehow???

skeeder,
my MGs are in pure compost from a local facility, and they too are full of foliage and little flowers.
i was told that the better quality soil, the more leaves and less flowers you will get.![[nutz]](im/graemlins/nutz.gif)
I see weezie has mentioned nitrogen content. I don't know all of the technical info like weezie might, but I was told that if i had poor soil, then my MGs would be full of flowers. ![[teacher]](im/graemlins/teacher.gif)
my garden is wonderful, however, due to the compost. we call it "black gold".![[thumb]](im/graemlins/thumb.gif)

I have never put anything in that area. It's just plain old dirt and none of the plants in that area were fertilized. It is very strange.
Anytime I plant (due to lack of knowledge and time both) I just try to plant something that will come back and /or that covers a lot of area. Then I just pray they do well. I love the outdoors and just seeing things grow awes me.

Sounds to me like they got too much rain. A friend told me not to water MG's a lot and they will bloom more, here's are full of blooms.

Yes, I thought so too (too much rain) I am just trying to figure out how to solve the problem now so I can get some flowers.
I saw 2 this morning, but that was all. I figured it couldn't hurt if I cut the ends off the vines since they just keep growing, so we will see if that does anything.
p.s. Monica... I live for the moments that take my breath away.

Usually, just don't water them and they should flower more, as for the rain, don't know what to tell you there. I cut the ends off of my moon vine, which is related to Morning glories and it makes them bushier!
I do my best to live for those type of moments as well.

You might be able to find a liquid fertilizer,
such as a Shultz Plus 10~60~10..
*or one that has a high middle number*
and mix it up and give the vine a "foliar feed"
*just spraying it's leaves, early in the morning,
not in the hot sun either*
and that may just do the trick with a little
extra umphffffff, to get to blooming....
