    Dooley the circle of flowers will be beautiful when they are all up. The petunia look great now and the morning glories are growing in leaps and bounds.

    I'm excited to see what it looks like when you have flowers all over. That's such a cool idea.

    Dooley, before your petunias get too big, go around your circle, about a foot out, with wet newspaper, about 10 layers, and mulch over the newspaper. That way you won't have to go through the trouble of removing the grass and the petunias can grow over the mulch. If you have them leaves or pine needles make a great free mulch.

    Thanks! I can do that easily enough. Well, I can do that anyway. I have newspaper and some mulch around here somewhere. dooley

    I'm anxious to see the circle garden in bloom, Dooley. Do you need to water wildflower seeds as much as others? Take a photo of your Morning Glories on the porch too, okay?
