Monster Vines in My October Garden :)
by

The sweet little vines I grew from seeds and planted in June are now devouring my garden- just in time for Halloween! Take a look at how they've grown!
I've learned a lot about vines. Inexperienced gardener that I was, I went crazy planting my tiny vines all over my secret garden. Well, I've learned my lesson and will be much more careful about which of these little monsters I will grow next season :)

The "monster" vines have swallowed up my birdbath in the middle of my garden
"Thing 1" on the left and "Thing 2 on the right
Birdbath and garden ball eaten by "Thing 1"
Attack of the morning glory, mina lobata and nasturtium- Overkill, right?!!
Fairy hiding in the vines- You're not afraid of any old vine, are you!
The "tentacles" spreading and growing on nearby plants
Watch out, little angel, it's coming to get you :0
Angel surrounded by mina lobata- (I actually like it as a ground cover!)

Looks like you've got a good crop of kudzu, recommend getting rid of it! http://rebeccasramsey.blogspot.com/2008/06/plant-that-ate-south.html
