Hi everybody. I have a vine growing outside that trains well and grows really fast. I cant figure out for the life of me what it is. You have to goto my Yahoo 360 page to see the picture. My Yahoo name is TieDie71. Please check it out and let me know if you know what it is. If you click on the pictures they will open up bigger. Thank yOu very much, Sherri

Sherri, I tried to find you on Yahoo 360, but not being familiar with the site, it's nearly impossible to navigate. Can you put a link here to the page your photo is on... or go to photobucket.com & open an account there so you can post your picture here? (Please?)

ok, here is the photobucket link! Thank You!

I think it's wild buckwheat. If others agree, I'd pull it up. You don't want it to set seed, as it can become a real pest.

Hey, I've got that! It gets covered with little tiny white flower clusters and blooms all summer. I love it but it is very aggressive, I swear it grows 6" overnight. I call it "crazyvine" but really I have no idea what it is.

Another possibility is hedge bindweed. It's even harder to get rid of than the buckwheat. it will resprout from the roots if you don't get them all. Bindweed has white morning glory like flowers, while the buckwheat has small greenish white flowers in slender clusters in the leaf axils.

bindweed
now if only i could sell it!

Bindweed. Do your best to get rid of it ASAP, before the roots get too strong and deep!

Looks like field bindweed! I had a piece of that come up through a teeny crack in an asphalt driveway. Couldn't kill it. Pull it up and burn it. Don't compost it. (It would like that, you'd have it everywhere **evil cackle**)

looks like my morning glory I got up against the back fence

I was gonna say Morning Glory too, it looks just like what I thought was Morning Glory in my back yard... It will grow like 5 feet in 20 minutes or something.

I'd say some kind of Wild Morning Glory...

Andddddddddddddd A great big HELLO to a fellow Western New Yorker!!!

I agree it is buckwheat. Didn't know it's name though till now. I also thought it was wild morning glory, but when it bloomed it had clusters of white flowers. It died off faster than MG and looked half dead before fall was here.Z6 WV. It will grow up other plants and will pull them down and is hard to pull out. Get rid of it early.

here is a great compare / contrast page...

Vine Weeds
