    That is a great way to combine a window with a planter box! Love it! And the vine is perfect! Way to recycle! Jeanne S.

    Love the planter box and window. What a great idea to use a widow without the glass for a trellis.I am also glad to see someone who can grow moonflower vines. Mine never grows even if I soak the seeds before planting. Thanks for sharing your picture.

    ty jeanne!!..lona, an easy way to get the moon flower vine to grow..put them in a coffee cup of warm water...soak for a couple of days(you dont even have to nick the seed)then put them between a couple of layers of damp papertowel...put them into a ziplock bag,,seal it..check in a couple of days and if the towell is dry if needed add more water to dampen it again..do this untill you have little sprouts( it takes probably 2 weeks.. if i remeber correctly)..when u plant them remember to put the root end into the soil first..about an inch deep..you will be able to tell what is the root(sometimes the roots will grab ahold of the paper towel..if this happens just tear the papertowel around the roots and plant it) and what is the leaf end(the outer part of the seed may still be covering part of the leaf)..this is what i do and i always have success!

    Great idea to use the old window for a trellis! It acts as a frame for the beautiful flowers to come. Very innovative yet simple idea! I'm looking forward to seeing a pic of the moonflower blooming.

    And thanks for the tip on growing them from seed!

    Okay! Thanks so much Kathy for the seed planting information. I will certainly give it a try next time and sprout them good first.
