    Yes, that would be very overwatered. Morning glories are extremely drought tolerant and don't really tolerate wet feet.

    Treating the soil will be more expensive than it is worth. I would advise letting the plant finish (But let the container dry out down to about 4 inches between watering) and baking that soil for 3 hours at 200 degrees.

    Baking soda, if used improperly, will make that soil unusable.

    It would seem that you are doing the best that you can already! With persistence, you may win the battle, but it may take years. You can pour boiling water on the seedlings as they come up.

    Sunflowers need to be started where they will finish. Starting them indoors will not let them reach their full height potential. Putting the highly invasive morning glory next to a stunted sunflower will likely resort in the morning glory taking over the area. I would keep them separate.

    No, you don't need to fertilize morning glory. It prefers a poor soil.

    I hit the jackpot! These photos show any kind of morning glory seedling you may have planted. They show the first leaves as well as the true leaves.

    Patience and diligence will rid you of morning glories. They are annuals which means they die after one growing season; however, they produce hundreds of seeds. Every year you are battling new plants until you exhaust the seeds left in the soil. Pulling each plant before it blooms and keeping at it for several years are required. Herbicide only kills this year's plants; it does not kill the seeds from prior years that now reside in the soil. Best of luck!
