morning glory

Its going on three springs now
Annie
brought me a
HUGE sack
of
MiracleGro

I bought a new window box

 to eliminate the bad mojo 

of dead morning glories past

 Well 

they weren't ever really dead 

they just never sprouted  

I soaked seeds
I cut the appropriate 'slit' to enable

 - what's the right term? - 

a root to grow

At the proper time

when the seeds looked like 

spermatozoa

(stolen from these people)

I planted

I 

waited 

waited 

waited  

Nothing
  

So in the end 

I bought plants at the Green Market 

that the squirrels ate

 Sigh 

This past summer into fall 

I oohed
and  

I aahed 

over
deborah kitt's morning glory photos

 She sent me seeds

I
waited
very 

patiently

For what?  

For Easter to be over

Apparently 

frost
is
verboten
after Easter

I'm a believer!
