    I have 2 corkscrew vine out of the 5 seeds I started with. I got 4 to germinate but the snow we had killed 2 of them so I'm left with 2 small vine that are not growing very fast. I went to a local nursery and purchased one that is quite a bit bigger than the ones I started. Cajunbelle told me she was told if you plant them in pots they seem to do better. If mine don't start doing better I will try planting them in pots.
    Well here they are. It's a wonder anything grows in my gardens with Callie trampling around! She is my little shadow!:)

    I am hoping that Julie's are mine will set seed. I hate paying $5.95 for 4 seeds.

    Julie I sure hope those take off for you. I think they are neat looking! I've been afraid to try them out here, don't think they'd do very well :(

    Deanna they like lots of heat and humidity from what I hear. But you never know they could surprise you!!:)

    Sharon I don't like paying that much either so hopefully between the 2 of us will have lots of seeds!! Fingers crossed!:)
