In the part snipped the morning glories took over and strangled the
edible plants. It's possible for a garden to hold both types.

I recently read that sweet potatoes are broadly classed as morning
glories. I was barely aware they weren't in the nightshade family
before that.

Guess you know that sweet potatoes leaves can be used like spinach.

Never heard that. I gave up growing sweet potatoes long ago because of
their vulnerability to insect pests: Down here, borers and earwigs eat the
tubers while grasshoppers eat the leaves, LOL! If the price keeps going up (I
can't believe I typed "if..."), I may try them again but in containers. The
grasshoppers don't know it yet but a surprise awaits them next season:

I do now. Back when I thought that sweet potatoes were potatoes and
thus nightshades I never would have imagined it. The leaves of
nightshade family plants are so varied I would have no idea and no
specific reason to look up the botany article on sweet potatoes.

Huh, so morning glories taking over the garden does still count as all
in the edible topic. I don't recall ever tasting the leaves of a
morning glory flower.

Morning glory is a plant, so dealing with unwanted ones is on topic.
Perhaps you were thinking of when you (or the one next to you) wakes up
with
an erection. Roundup is no use but you could try a weed-wacka.

Some how I can't imagine morning glories taking over a garden that is
looked over. Do you go away for long periods? I'm not being critical.
I'm just trying to understand the problem.

I got sick for three weeks is the excuse.
Saying that, I didnt completely covere the garden with weed fabric and hay.
Because its a bear to get the plants through the fabric. The morning
glories have been a long term 20 year battle. Theyre everywhere. not just in
my garden.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it¹s not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That¹s hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don¹t get away with no taxation.
