Hello - My morning glories did great all summer with a beautiful blooming. However, now all the leaves are turning yellowish and it's not close to being cold; weather is still hot and sunny. Please help.

If the veins are green but the leaf is yellow, you have a magnesium deficiency. Add some epsom salt around the base of the plant (about 1/2 cup) and water in.

There are many things that can cause the leaves to turn yellow, with no way of knowing exactly what is going on with your plant I will name a few.
1. It could be chlorotic, simply give it a shot of fertilizer to help. 2.Heat stress. 3.Too much water 4. Root rot (usually associated with too much water) 5. A little critter called a cut worm, it eats away at the base of the plant girdling it. 6. Round Up or other chemical damage. (Believe it or not I do see this at least once a week in the field) 7. Mulching to heavily at the base of the plant. This will allow moisture to start to rot away the stem of the plant.
