Author Garden: Need suggestions on flowering vines. AgnusDeiHmschl Garden Helper Member # 11525 posted                       I have a brush pile in our backyard that I'd like to cover up with some kind of flowering vine. I'm hoping there is some variety out there that I can just toss some seeds out and it will thrive without being too invasive. I live in zone 8-9, the area is in full sun. Lots of rich organic matter underneath the brush pile! * * * * Check out the adventures of a first time gardener at: http://creamerchronicles.blogspot.com Plants: 16 | From: South Texas | Registered: Jan 2007  |  Seeded: 12.196.72.192 joclyn guest posted                 hyacinth bean vine, passion flower, chocolate vine, kiwi fruit vine, various clematis, kangaroo vine, dutchman's pipe, velvet bean, coral vine, american bittersweet, Seeded: 70.20.141.241 tkhooper Official Blabber Mouth Member # 4875 posted                       And dear old morning glory * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.198.144 AgnusDeiHmschl Garden Helper Member # 11525 posted                       These are great suggestions, off to Google them now!

How about the jasmines? Esp Confederate and carolina jasmine. They are quick to fill any area and are beautiful and smell good. Oh guess Pink Jasmine would also be a good choice, and they are perenniels as well. Plants: 5 | From: Atlantic Beach, Florida | Registered: Mar 2007  |  Seeded: 24.1.87.98 RugbyHukr Garden Pro!

Member # 7979 posted                       I love Honeysuckle because it smells heavenly and when the wind blows it fills the yard with such a sweet scent , but the flowers are small! Probably my favorite vining flower is the Clematis.

The do go into a rest period during the hot part of summer but otherwise put on a nice show almost all summer. When I fertilize mine, I add just a wee bit of SuperThrive and, boy, does it ever make a difference!

Wish I had taken pictures of my giant Shasta daisys I grew with it last year--they got up to about 3 feet tall and bloomed profusely! You can buy it at Wal Mart. I noticed our Wal Mart already has it this year. It's a small bottle (very concentrated) attached to a cardboard back. * * * * Nature Lover Plants: 334 | From: Vicksburg, Mississippi | Registered: Jan 2007  |  Seeded: 70.152.78.166 dodge Garden Pro!

It's in the shadier part of the yard though and I'm not sure if it's one that does well in the shade (was here when we moved in.) It only had a few little flowers too.

They all did well but started doing VERY well after I began putting SuperThrive on them. I've used in on shrubs that were doing poorly in this yucky clay soil I have and they improved dramatically too I swear by that stuff now!

They are building a new Super Wal-Mart here. It's going to be huge and take forever just to get from one end to the other. I'm sure going to miss the old one, which really wasn't that old. Geesh, with the present one I can run in and get everything I need in 15 minutes, unless I get side-tracked in the garden section. Actually, I've never tried to grow any Clematis from seeds, but I usually don't do a lot with seed. I'm getting braver and trying more of them this year. * * * * "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen!"

Thanks for warning me because I never thought about that. Guess I need to be a little more careful when I use the Self-Checkout at the grocery store. I usually have so many items I probably wouldn't even notice a few extra dollars on the bill. Actually, the first time I ever used the Self-Check aisle I was at a Super Wal-Mart and went in to get some glue and a hose nozzle. Well, some bells or something went off and the screen said a supervisor would be coming. Geesh, I thought for sure I broke it. Come to find out, the glue I bought required an age check by a supervisor but she took one look at me and said she didn't need an I.D. * * * * "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name.
