I'm not sure how that rules out morning glory. I understood it to mean that she could be looking at the vine and that the soon to be flowers are close by on the vine.taxy, Morning Glory was my first thought too, until she said...
I am embarrassed to say that I believe I am responsible for killing my garlic and onions this year. (In prior years, I blame Mother Nature.) I went to salvage the garlic and found that the soil was very moist to about two to three inches down but was bone dry beyond that. Sad....but I have ordered slow soaker hoses and believe that will solve the problem. Time will tell. To test this, I have some onion bulbs that I planted to see how it goes. On the other hand, the wheatgrass that I am growing for kittens is thriving!

They love the wheat grass and will chomp on it regularly. I need to wait for it to fill in more otherwise they will pull it out and scatter dirt everywhere. Once it starts to die off, they lose interest. They like it best when it is long, lush, and bright green. Recently, they have showed interest in catnip as well, so I put a pot of it in my herb planter.But, do the kittens want to eat the wheat grass? I have tried growing various grasses that were supposed to appeal to cats, and mine have never wanted anything to do with them, even if they would eat other plants and/or lawn grass.
Have you thought about getting a probe that measures the moisture? I have a small one that I use for my indoor herbs and stuff. It wasn't very expensive.
I'm reminded of a story about my late husband's family cat when he was still living at home. They had a cat who was a "sissy". He was afraid of other cats and didn't want to go outside, if there were other cats in the yard. So, Mary, my late MIL, planted catnip. This cat was quite fond of catnip. But, then the neighbourhood cats discovered the catnip. The scaredy cat did not want to share his catnip with strangers. He kept an eye on the catnip from a window and wanted to go outside and defend it as soon as he saw other cats in his yard. No more Mr. Scaredy Cat, he was no longer a "sissy".Recently, they have showed interest in catnip as well, so I put a pot of it in my herb planter.
