Thinning the herd or just tired of all the maintenance? Watch the rogue trees and morning glory; with any competition removed, they can get aggressive and out-of-hand.

FWIW - Sweet potatoes are in the Morning Glory family. They are NOT potatoes. Yams in the grocery store are really sweet potatoes. If you want to see a true yam you will need to go to west Africa. They are only distantly related botanically.

Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants (aubergine), Capsicum peppers (bell, Tabasco, Habanero), and tobacco are first cousins in the Nightshade family.

Onions, and garlic are lilies.

Apples are in the rose family.

Vanilla is an orchid.

BTW - Caw.
