I was going to plant morning glories for the front trellis, but every single person who knows plants has said, "watch out, they will take over

take over?

[au_festin]

matt and i have planted morning glories for the past two summers at the edge of our vegetable garden and have never noticed that they 'take over'. they do self-seed, but if your neighbour is mowing her lawn regularily, i can't imagine they'd survive in her yard.

i'd say go for the morning glories. i think they're my favorite climbing flower: dead easy to grow and very pretty!

Huh. OK. Guess I'll find out myself, because I'm going to stick morning glories in the back yard on another trellis..

Amusingly enough (to me, I guess), I saw my neighbour today and she said she looked into morning glories and didn't want them spreading in her yard.

"Oookay," says I.

Fortunately, she likes Clematis.

Neighbour negotiations are tricky, sometimes. :)

It doesn't help that she's crazy.
