We have muscadine vines growing over our blackberry bushes. A black bear has been tearing them up to get to the blackberries.

That's not Virginia Creeper either Major. But it's definitely healthy whatever it is. Morning Glory would be too obvious...air potato?

And also, I think it's pretty mean of you to have better looking accidents than I have on purpose-planted.

9/17/17 update..
finished all the weekend chores.... time to relax and share the wonderful i am not gardening this year photos..

the kiwis did a rough count about 140 this year, no super sized ones figuring around 20-25 lbs..

the winter acorn squash... neat that i have one, but it's in the worst spot only gets a couple hours of sun a day and sprouted way to late... we shall see

the diplomat melon...hard to say if we will get any to eat, but fun to watch ...

and finally the muscadines grapes.. had a couple while mowing yesterday.. still needs time to sweeten up.

 

[majorcatfish]

how about that i have goji berries....all about the size of your pinky nail .. guess my experiment is doing great...

as for the diplomat melon volunteer, failure cucumber beetles bit it so they never had a chance to ripen all the way ...pulled it this morning hope the wildlife will enjoy them...

Expect info on goji berries. Good to eat raw or like too many, health benefits out weigh the lack of good flavor.
