Welcome to the yard on the left. A place to contemplate, relax, and rant on the right.

That tangle of Morning Glories

A touch of frost the other night did the Morning Glories (Ipomoea tricolor) in.


Our tool today will be the blue handled clippers.

Morning Glories are an evil climbing plant. Spiraling around anything they can reach out and grab.
These were so strong they broke off the top of the wooden trellis they were growing on.

The spent plant material ends up in the other end of the garden in the compost bin.

Hard to believe that big bush came from just 4 plants. I see a similarity in the Bush Administration, with ideological roots of just a few neo-cons, growing and twining their way into every part of government. The Democrats taking over Congress are the freeze, and the upcoming Presidential election will be the clippers. Unllike the LipsYard garden, this particular vine is just trash for the curb, and should never be composted or recycled.
