Thanks, Om. That wild morning glory is a bit too wild for me and not
so glorious in either the morning or evening. Wouldn't mind it so much
if it wasn't crawling all over my Texas Sage. It has been so wet for
so long that I'm seeing vines/weeds that I've never noticed before as
I'm usually out hoeing with the first seedling. Strange summer.


I totally empathize. :-) I have ruthlessly weeded it out where I don't
want it.

That stuff grows FAST!!!

And it drops tons of seeds. Mine are blooming gloriously much to the
delight of the local butterflies.

I've had morning glory vines take over a large part of my front yard this
spring. I've let it go so far, but was wondering how aggresively it
will continue to take over? Should it be kept "in check" so that it
doesn't overwhelm other natives?
