The morning glories snuck up this week with startlingly beautiful, short-lived blooms 3 inches in diameter just as their vines were starting to look dried up and ratty. Photos can't do justice to the contrast of their sunburst centers against that translucent blue.
They say morning glories thrive on neglect. I think this means next year I'll put the seedlings in containers large enough to get them through midsummer and then try to forget about them.
The moonflower vines shriveled away at some point for reasons I have not yet troubleshooted.

I've lifted the bulbs and harvested about 10 pounds of sweet potatoes. The dahlias didn't get going until late in the season, and then grew only dinky, downturned blooms. Better gardeners say next year they'll need more sun and feed. Time for the garden to sleep.
