I want to pull it up because I also still need to find the beginning of the neighbors stinking morning glories and get them abolished. I am going to do a garden next year and I want to go vertical with everything I can. I have so much crabgrass that I would have to spend 12 hours a day in the garden working on weeding. I'm hoping to get the entire area tilled and covered with cardboard. I'm still going to use my raised beds and the hugelkultur method. I'm not going to turn away from organic gardening either but I just want to make next year the best garden ever for me.
morning glory seeds persist for many years after - i just pulled some morning glory plants out of a pathway and a garden that hasn't had any fresh seeds in them for about 10 years. only a few plants, but that is all it takes. what surprises me the most is that the plants can get going even in taller stands of cover crops. i have cosmos, radishes, turnips and the cosmos are 4ft or more tall now and i didn't know there were any morning glory plants in there until they bloomed. the purple stands out very starkly in the cosmos...
