Can you elaborate, Kay? Would you have a name for it? As I mentioned, it's fighting the green, broad leaf, wild grape vines, which produce "bunches of grapes", so I know it's not the "typical" wild grape, which I'm used to seeing, as I make wine from those. As you can see from the pic, these grapes are very individual. As well, the tradtional "wild grape" stays green into sept/oct, these leaves are not green. Andy

Personally, I compost annual weeds, even if they have gone to seed. Babies are easy enough to hoe out if they pop up after the compost is spread. Perennial weeds with persistent rhizomes or roots I dehydrate first by hanging them up over bushes or something. Weeds with bulbs I don't compost because they are very hard to kill by drying. Berries which have hard seeds inside can persist in compost so I would not compost those if they are from an invasive species, as yours is. Other people are much more clinical and won't compost any seeds. The secret is to keep hoeing and pulling regularly long before weeds get a chance to set seed. Our local authority won't take garbage if it has any green waste in it. You have to pay for separate bags which get sent to a composting facility, so it makes sense to deal with it at home.

Where is this located, John? Are you in the UK? If so the green stem looks like Jasminum officinale and the other could possibly be Fallopia baldschuanica but the leaves are not clearly visible so I'm not at all certain. If you could show some unwilted leaves it would help. Both would have been planted deliberately. You seem to have an Ash sapling and some Pyracantha in there too. Quite a challenge. If I have misguessed the location all bets are off.

Thank you! The way they were growing through the bamboo they appeared to be a vine. Appreciate your help!
