However, I am extremely surprised at the lack of field bindweed,

Do you mean the little pink one or the big white one?

The little pink one seems to like relatively light dryish soil., the
big white one is happiest when it has something to climb up.

I love that little pink one. Fields around us have it here and there
but I haven't seen any on our land. Yet!
